The Management of Police Corruption?

This chapter builds on the previous psychological and ethical facets of the police as a swirling and dynamic whirlpool which enlightens a little Other of policing maintained by storytelling and the underlying power of cultural icons such as the Blue Wall of Silence (Westmarland in Policing and Society 15:145–165, 2005) and Hypermasculinity (Bikos in “I Took the Blue Pill” The Effect of the Hegemonic Masculine Police Culture on Canadian Policewomen’s Identities). It uses data from my autoethnographic journals to explore the management of implementation within the police service and presents evidence of the neoliberal managerialist influences which have become well-rooted in police leadership praxis (Johnson in Theoria 61:5–29, 2014).
