Policing human rights / Richard Martin. - First edition. - 1 online resource (448 pages) : illustrations (colour). - Oxford scholarship online . - Oxford scholarship online. .
This edition also issued in print: 2021.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Human rights go to the heart of policing in democratic societies. Across the world, police are now governed by human rights principles and increasingly detailed standards - from arrest and detention to the regulation of protest and the use of lethal force. Yet there has been remarkably limited research examining human rights as a central feature of contemporary police reform, rhetoric and regulation. This book breaks new ground by offering a sociologically inspired and empirically grounded account of how officers encounter and experience human rights law in their everyday work. The substantive insights and associated arguments of the book are based on unprecedented fieldwork with Police Service of Northern Ireland, including interviews and focus groups with over one hundred police officers, from over twenty police stations and five departments.
