POLITICAL CONTROL OR COMMUNITY LIAISON? TWO STRATEGIES IN
THE REFORM OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY
S P Savage
Political Quarterly, January-March, 1984 55 (1) pp48-59

Discusses the various meanings of police accountability and
the present debate in British politics.The meanings of police
reform are outlined and analysed, but it would be difficult to
reform the police for political and organisational reasons to
improve public accountability.The concept of police accountability
through cooperation, namely police-community consultation, is
discussed and preferred as potentially more effective than police
reform. The effectiveness of consultational arrangements depends
upon their social composition and the attitudes of participants.
