<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The fundamental change in policing that began in 2001 was a critical part of the Northern Ireland peace process. Seventy years after its establishment the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) remained distrusted and unrepresentative of the Catholic - nationalist community. This book explores how policing changed and the significant contribution that overhaul made to the most successful conflict transformation process in recent decades. It looks at policing from an organizational perspective and focuses on leadership, strategy and culture as it traces the journey from RUC to PSNI. In this way it reflects the views of many key figures inside the organization and of key political decision makers outside of it. This book will be of tremendous interest to those seeking to explore the underlying dynamics of one of the most radical and challenging change processes in recent history and is a must read for anyone interested in the Northern Irish peace process. "--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This is the first in-depth analysis of the transition from the RUC to the PSNI seen through the eyes of key figures, inside and outside the organization. It provides a fresh insight into the wider social and political context in which this change occurred and is a significant contribution to the story of the Northern Ireland peace process.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This book makes an important contribution to an understanding of the profound changes in policing that have occurred within a relatively short period of time in Northern Ireland. It also contributes to an understanding of organizational change in general. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in deepening his or her understanding of this complex situation."</p> <p>- Rutgers University Review</p> <p>"Murphy's close and detailed analysis provides a nuanced account of these important issues, and her work adds a valuable dimension to our understanding of the transition from RUC to PSNI. It will be of interest to researchers and policy-makers interested in the process of police reform in Northern Ireland and internationally and in the internal dynamics of organizational change generally." - Aogán Mulcahy, British Journal of Criminology</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Joanne Murphy is a lecturer on organisational behaviour and change at Queens University Management School, Northern Ireland.
