Product Description
History, regulation and culture are key aspects of policing. This book presents essays on them which are based on research papers prepared for the Royal Commission into the New South Wales Police Service by three of Australia's leading police researchers: Janet Chan, David Dixon and Mark Finnane. It concludes with a major reassessment by David Dixon of the Royal Commission and of the reform process in the period since its final Report. In providing critical analyses of history, regulation, culture, and reform, this book contributes significantly to Australian and international policing literature, and provides a case study of cultural change in a police force which will have wide application elsewhere. The book provides an invaluable resource for both policy makers and professionals as well as students and academics concerned with policing issues. ... Read more

Product Description
Nation, Culture, Text is the first collection of work in cultural studies from Australia, selected and introduced for an international readership. Participating in the `de-centering' of cultural studies--considering what perspectives non-Europeans or Americans have to offer--the contributors raise important issues about the role of a national tradition of critical theory, and about the cultural specificity of theory itself.

Contributors:Tony Bennett, Stuart Cunningham, Ross Gibson, Pam Gilbert, Helen Grace, Ian Hunter, Elizabeth Jacka, Eric Michaels, Meaghan Morris, Virginia Nightingale, Tom O'Regan, Noel Sanders, John and Marian Tulloch. ... Read more
