Revisiting the Classics: policing coercion and liberty: a review of P.A.J. Waddington's Liberty and Order (1994) and Policing Citizens (1999)

Stott, Clifford

Abstract

As a field of social science research, policing has been fortunate to have a number of influential academic researchers and a rich history of significant writing. This is something to be celebrated. Our Revisiting the Classics series aims to bring together leading commentators to review books that contribute to the core of police studies. There will always be debate about which books are seminal and which authors have had the greatest influence on the discipline. We hope this initiative will encourage readers to rediscover the value of work done by previous generations. For the first issue of 2016, Clifford Stott reviews two influential titles by P.A.J. (Tank) Waddington: Policing Citizens (1999) and Liberty and Order (1994).
