From police to policing : "police reform in Northern Ireland and the vision of partnership" Mark Brunger (24162426) PUREID: 197975218 Throughout the United Kingdom, the appeal to partnership pervades the language of policing, crime prevention and crime reduction. In Northern Ireland, policing structures have gone through a substantial transition and period of reform since the Independent Commission on Policing reported in 1999. The language of partnership also pervades this transition. Based upon in-depth empirical analysis, this thesis provides a comprehensive, critical and enlightening account of the role partnership policing initiatives are playing in Northern Ireland. It also provides a discussion of the challenges that partnership structures face, the issues that beset them and the symbolic role they play in the vision and trajectory of police reform. 2026-10-01T17:38:59Z Text Thesis 10.17034/32628606.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/From_police_to_policing_police_reform_in_Northern_Ireland_and_the_vision_of_partnership_/32628606 All Rights Reserved
