摘要:Governance describes the processes by which organisations are directed, controlled and held to account. It encompasses authority, accountability, stewardship, leadership, the direction and control exercised in the organisation. This paper argues that the shape of policing has changed in recent years; the service is more innovative and less risk averse than ever before. In this environment, governance structures are needed that support the complexities of the change in police roles and functions and assessment of corporate performance must include criteria such as ethical values and codes of conduct.
