Description:

Professor Holdaway takes a sociological and theoretical approach to analyse the new phenomenon of Black Police Associations established in the majority of constabularies in England and Wales, describing and analysing how race and ethnicity are constructed and sustained within constabularies and how they have changed during the last two decades.

Synopsis:

Black Police Associations analyses the new phenomenon of Black Police Associations established in the majority of constabularies in England and Wales. The author takes a sociological and theoretical approach to the subject, in contrast to current criminology which is more evaluative and policy oriented. The analysis is underpinned with the notion that race and ethnicity are socially constructed: the book describes and analyses how race and ethnicity are constructed and sustained within constabularies and how they have changed during the last two decades, providing students, researchers and academics with a sociological perspective on understanding race within criminal justice institutions. Black Police Associations covers the history of BPAs; the construction and consequences of the notion of 'black' as a political emblem within constabularies; the work and influence of BPAs (nationally and within constabularies); post-McPherson policing; new forms of racism within constabularies; ethnic identities amongst ethnic minority police officers and BPAs, and the occupational culture.By analysing the work of BPAs within constabularies, the author posits a number of implications for change within the management of constabularies.
