Unreasonable Force
By Charlie Taylor
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Where would you draw the line between social control and civil liberties? It was drawn in a different place in the late 60s and 70s from where we find it now.
Unreasonable Force, with remarkable candour, describes how policing has changed from ‘Force’ to ‘Service’ during the past 40 years and asks whether the change has been altogether a good thing. For the author, a police officer back then, who found himself on the front lines of the police ranks during the Toxteth Riots in the summer of 1981, that line wasn’t drawn nearly so much in favour of ‘control’ as he would have liked.
As the author comments: “This is real policing. Never mind the bollocks.”
(Foreword from Keith Soothill – Emeritus Professor of Social Research, Lancaster University)
