Abstract

Police officers might be starting to believe that the very purpose of the criminal justice system is under question. But if the simple answer to ‘Can we arrest our way out of anything?’ really is ‘No’, isn’t the more complex response that a policing response to social problems such as arrest remains part of the answer (perhaps even on occasions, a vital one)?’ Is there a danger that when we publicly ‘talk down’ the role played in addressing social problems through law enforcement activity, that we might unintentionally undermine its continuing importance?’
