Critiquing Evidence-Based Policing in Britain

More about the book

The book explores the rise of Evidence Based Policing (EBP) in the UK, analyzing its impact on policing practices and institutional changes. Drawing on Michel Foucault's theories, it presents a critical history of EBP, linking it to broader themes of managerialism and neoliberalism. The author argues that EBP is not a purely objective tool for policing policy but rather a contested concept that serves specific political purposes. This examination is relevant for readers interested in policing, critical criminology, and political science.
