The purpose of the literature reviews was to provide a fuller picture of recruitment issues both in New Zealand and internationally, and initiatives that have been implemented to address and/or mitigate these barriers. The reviews are to help New Zealand Police to identify good or innovative practice that might inform local approaches to recruitment. This literature was retrieved from a range of data sources including: existing collections (e.g., NZ Police Library and also that held by CJRC and the Institute of Criminology); academic databases of multidisciplinary journals (e.g., criminology, psychology, sociology and gender studies); and the internet (using google and google scholar, and searches of specific websites of government, professional and other organisations who produce criminological research). The review focused on literature from the past ten years, published academic research and government reports and policy documents. Details: Wellington, NZ: New Zealand police, 2008. 76p.

Author: Rogers, Colin Title: Maintaining democratic policing: the challenge for police leaders Summary: The policing function in most democratic countries is currently undergoing a series of radical changes, not only economically through different austerity measures, but organisationally and structurally through the introduction of various reviews into police pay, working conditions etc. For example, in the UK the Audit Commission (2010) and Winsor (2011) have suggested such changes as direct entry schemes to the rank of inspector and superintendent as well as setting different levels of advancement for payment of constables. These changes may appear to some as superficial tinkering with the way the police perform their practical function, and indeed appear to be aimed at the delivery of street level policing. However, the effects of such changes may manifest themselves in a far more subtle manner surrounding the very philosophy of policing as understood since its modern inception. The unforeseen implications of such changes have the potential to store up challenges and problems for police leaders if not recognised and understood. Contemporary democratic policing normally claims its roots and legitimacy in the fact that it is supported by communities in the carrying out of their duties. Hence respect for and continued interaction with communities is vital support to allow the police to carry out their function. This is particularly so when discussing the democratic policing model.
