Adrian james is a senior lecturer in criminal investigation, university of portsmouth, uk. A detective for most of the 30 years of his police career, he has worked in various scotland yard departments, with the regional crime squad, the national crime squad, and latterly was engaged in project work with hm revenue and customs and the serious organised crime agency.

This book makes a significant and original contribution both to our understanding of ilp and to the implementation of policing policies. James' observations, insights and conclusions deserve serious reflection and contemplation from police researchers and those holding administrative or managerial positions within the police. As robert reiner states in the foreword, james' book is a mine of information and insights on policing in general and, especially, on ilp in britain. One can indeed learn a great deal from him and his book. - Policing and society
