Policing Ethically - Allyson Macvean, Clive Harfield

At a time when much in UK policing is the subject of intense public and media scrutiny, there prevails a practitioner discourse about policing ethically that is ongoing formally in police ethics committee discussions, and probably informally in station offices, canteens, classrooms, and police vehicles. Since January 2024, these conversations have added emphasis with the publication of the College of Policing revised Code of Ethics with which policing practitioners in England and Wales are coming to grips. This book explores thinking about policing ethically for those who have to use and implement the ideas; to those who, when law and policy is silent on the matter before them, nevertheless have to make a justifiable decision and act upon it.Applicable to policing generally, not just to the U.K., Part 1 of this book presents conceptual contextualization for thinking about policing ethically. Following which, Part 2 considers practical implications of policing ethically. Some of the key topics that the book covers are as follows:· Discussions of managing power and vulnerability· Implementing frontline ethics in practice· The process of making ethically-informed decisions· Considerations around ethics and the use of Artificial Intelligence by policing practitioners· Prerequisites to ethical leadership· Considering ‘public interest’ in relation to policing ethically· Risk management as a moral obligation Dra
