Policing in the United Kingdom is structured separately in each of the legal systems. Law enforcement is carried out by police officers under the jurisdiction of one of the regional police services. Police officers are granted certain powers so that they can perform their duties. They are responsible for safeguarding life and property, conserving peace, and detecting and deterring criminal offences. In the British model of policing, officers exercise their powers to police with the implicit consent of the public, called policing by consent. It expresses that the legitimacy of policing in the eye of the public is based on a consensus of support that follows from transparency, integrity and accountability. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as historical approaches of law enforcement in England. It presents the complex subject of policing in England in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. This book is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on policing in England.
