Just over ten years after the publication of the Patten Report on policing in Northern Ireland, this book reflects on the Report, its role in the subsequent and ongoing transformation of policing in Northern Ireland and the lessons of the Northern Ireland experience for security-sector reform internationally.
Policing the Narrow Ground will put into the public domain, in a collected form, reflections from key actors involved in this hugely important process, along with a number of academic analyses of the process of policing reform and its international significance.
The book was launched jointly by the Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin TD and British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Owen Patterson MP
Policing the Narrow Ground is published by the Royal Irish Academy with the support of the Department of Foreign Affairs of Ireland and the Northern Ireland Office.
