520 |a "This book outlines over 20 years of in-depth research on police culture and the blue code of silence which is said to protect and perpetuate police misconduct. It discusses the existing literature and draws upon first-hand research with many serving police officers and some police support staff. These studies not only provide evidence of the police code but are also useful for examining why and how to prevent its ill-effects. A recent (post 1950s) history of police cultural research which concentrates on ethics and integrity is provided with reflections on change and a discussion of the College of Policing's introduction of a code of ethics in 2014. It asks whether anything has changed but mainly analyses the individual studies and what the potential lessons learnt are from the various scandals that have come to light. The questionnaires and research instruments used are included in the text for replication purposes, and alongside this, the ethics of such studies are discussed. This book will speak to police officers including those enrolled on police degrees, policing scholars and students, and criminologists." -­-
