This article examines British police memoirs for change in perspectives of cop culture.
Abstract
Using a critical analysis of three recent British police memoirs, this article considers some aspects of how the police memoir has changed over time, and specifically how these recent memoirs differ from the 'up from the streets' autobiographies of the past. The article uses this critical analysis to pursue further the idea of cop culture. References (Published Abstract)
