Stop and Search cover

This book reviews the key controversies surrounding the police power to stop and search members of the public. It explores the history and development of these powers, assesses their effectiveness in tackling crime and their impact on public trust and confidence as well as on-going attempts at regulation and reform.

“Delsol and Michael Shiner is a collection of work that makes an important contribution to the field of policing and ethnicity studies, social justice and crime and society. … this is an excellent book which focuses on the core issues that have been debated around stop and search for many years and uses evidence to construct those arguments.” (Imran Awan, Ethnic and Racial Studies, 2016)
