"This book is essential reading for all those interested in police governance and accountability. Based on the lessons learned from reforms to police governance in Scotland, Ali Malik sets out a thought provoking and powerful argument for the incorporation of diverse forms of knowledge and expertise into police governance arrangements. He proposes a novel framework for doing this which creatively brings together expert knowledge with the use of inclusive deliberative processes. This is an argument that merits the attention of all those interested in the question of how we hold the police to account." Rick Muir, Director of the Police Foundation

“Drawing on an in-depth conceptual and empirical exploration of recent developments in the Scottish police governance landscape, this book makes a compelling argument for institutionalising epistocratic knowledge within contemporary networks of police governance. It skilfully weaves together an impressively broad range of ideas, from the sociology of policing, constitutional law, public administration and political philosophy, to make a major contribution to contemporary debates in police governance and accountability.” Stuart Lister, University of Leeds
