Produktbeschreibung
This book examines the organisational culture of the Irish police service, speaking in particular to those interested in policing organisations and organisational culture. It is set against a backdrop of considerations such as community policing, police accountability, the management of change in Irish policing, and where the Irish police situates itself in relation to police organisations internationally. An Garda Si ocha na, the national police service of the Republic of Ireland, has a stated community policing style which focuses on an interactive relationship with the community and results in a largely unarmed policing organisation which makes it different to most police organisations. Yet, the author argues that the organisational culture has prevented them from embodying community policing across the organisation. Exploring the organisation's historical context and how they are trained, this book draws on new research and data spanning 30 years including tribunals and reports to examine the organisational culture over time including potential misconduct, blame culture, and resistance to change within the organisation, in order to provide a more thorough understanding of a relatively unknown policing organisation.

Rezensionen
"Irish Policing: Culture, Challenges and Change in An Garda Síochána (AGS) provides a nuanced and innovative approach to critically evaluating the deeply enshrined culture within policing organizations. This work marks a valuable contribution to Irish policing studies, contextualizing AGS and policing in Ireland, within the broader international literature on police organizational cultures." (Cydney Sheridan, European Journal of Policing Studies, Vol. 6 (2), 2023)
