Abstract

In the wake of the 2011 'riots', public order policing tactics in England and Wales have once again been brought into question. Yet, the riots came two years since police regulatory authorities in the UK called for fundamental reforms to the policing of public order. Questions are raised about why the change called for appears to have been so slow and what can be done to assist reform. This paper suggests that developing an evidence-based policing approach within the field of public order policing to inform police decision-making would provide the answers. By doing so, the paper addresses some of the possible barriers to implementing evidence-based policing in public order and calls for police academic partnership to overcome these to make 'change' an ongoing reality. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
