Description

In an era where police organizations are among the most visible and watched entities in society, understanding how their public image is formed is essential. This book by Willan provides a deep look into the ways police departments work to promote, project, and protect their reputation in the face of constant media interest. This text documents and explains the specific image work performed by police forces. It explores the various activities used to construct and project certain views of policing to the public. By looking at how these images are built, readers gain insight into the relationship between police communication and institutional legitimacy. Drawing upon first-hand research conducted with police officers, the book offers a grounded perspective on these processes. It includes specific examples, such as the handling of the Miners Strike by the South Yorkshire Police, to illustrate how policing activities translate into public perception. This is a valuable resource for those studying the social sciences, legal studies, and the mechanics of organizational communication.
