Le managérialisme et la nature des réformes policières en Angleterre et au Pays de Galles

Despite an enduring political attachment to the idea of ‘local’ policing in England & Wales, policy-making has been subject to significant centralization for decades. The institutional architecture of British policing remains strongly local, but the enhancement of central control and organisation is argued to have resulted in a de facto national police force. We argue that a bifurcated policing system is emerging in which responses to such things as serious and organized crime, and terrorism, are becoming more centralized, whilst the policing of ‘ordinary’ crimes and disorder are increasingly integrated into a broader community safety response at the local level.
