Will the government solve the permacrisis of British policing?

British police has been suffering from a legitimacy crisis following a series of scandals, scrutiny over apparent misconduct and accusations of “two-tier policing” during the recent riots. Jonathan Jackson, Emmeline Taylor and Ben Bradford argue that if the new Labour Government is to restore trust in the police force a series of reforms are needed, including a change of the current culture, leaning heavier on the use of technology and a shift of leadership style away from “command and control”.
