Document Summary
Higher education and policing in england and wales. The proliferation of higher education courses has not been met with equal enthusiasm in articulating the added value that these degrees provide to the police service, to students, and the public. Only one thematic inspection of training provision for police probationers has ever taken place within the police service, and little systematic evaluation of whether training meets its objectives has taken place elsewhere. Applied criminal justice degrees were referred to as descriptive introductions to the structure and function of criminal justice systems, thus compromising academic integrity to attract business. Improved attitudes towards minority groups, as well as more ethical and professional behaviour: was the overall university experience that cultivated this more ethical and culturally aware attitude. Students in earlier stages of a degree demonstrated higher levels of authoritarianism than those in the latter part. More recently, scholars have provided empirical support for a correlation between higher education and an increasingly flexible value-system.
