Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Independent Commission On Policing For Northern Ireland, headed by Lord Patten, concluded in its 1999 report 'A new beginning for democratic accountability is key to a new beginning for policing and to involving the community as a whole in the delivery of policing. We recommend that an entirely new Policing Board be created ...'. This book is about the delivery of that 'new beginning for policing' in Northern Ireland, achieved at a time when most commentators considered the Policing Board was itself likely to fragment along traditional community lines. The story of the Policing Board, from its establishment in 2001 through to the reconstitution of the membership in 2009 is in many ways an inspirational one, showing what can be done by politicians and community representatives working together to bring about a fundamentally different way of policing that better meets the needs of the whole community. It offers valuable lessons and contemporary insights for law enforcement officers, accountability 'bodies' and academics world-wide, in key areas, including the need for a police service's composition to reflect the community that it serves; promoting public confidence in policing and policing with the community; upholding human rights in the context of policing civil unrest and terrorism; how to hold a police service to account while providing the support it requires; and dealing with the legacy of inter-communal violence with over 3,500 deaths. Drawing largely on publicly available material, it is an account by two individuals uniquely well-placed to produce an authoritative record: Professor Sir Desmond Rea, the Policing Board's Chairman for its first eight and a half years, and Robin Masefield, the senior civil servant who headed the British Government's team implementing the recommendations of the Independent Commission.

This book was released on 2007-01-30 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports by the Independent Monitoring Commission into paramilitary activities in Northern Ireland are normally produced at six monthly intervals. However, in light of the St Andrews Agreement of October 2006 and subsequent developments, the Commission was asked to produce an additional report at this time. The report focuses on the three month period September to November 2006, and the Commission's findings include that there remains a very clear distinction between the position of the leadership of Sinn Fâin and the Provisional IRA on the one hand, and loyalists paramilitary groups on the other. The leadership of Sinn Fâin remains committed to the strategy of pursuing a political path and the decision of the party's Ard Fheis to support policing and the criminal justice system was a very significant development. Although there have been some signs of progress amongst loyalist groups, with efforts being made by some amongst the leaderships to move towards community involvement and democratic politics, progress has been patchy and there remains a long path still to be trodden.
Download or read book Nineteenth Report of the Independent Monitoring Commission written by Independent Monitoring Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ad hoc report is the response to a request from the British and Irish governments for a fuller assessment of the completion of the transformation of the Provisional IRA (PIRA). In July 2005 PIRA formally announced the end of its armed campaign and instructed its volunteers to cease all activities and to commit to exclusively peaceful means to pursue its objectives. In September 2005 it decommissioned its weapons. There have been further changes and developments since then: the decision of Sinn Fâin to support policing and the criminal justice system; Sinn Fâin's entry into the Northern Ireland Executive in May 2007; the number of people making the transition from PIRA to Sinn Fâin. The Commission firmly believes the PIRA is set on and will remain on the political path and does not represent a threat to peace or democratic politics. PIRA, as an organisation, no longer does what it used to do, and by design it is being allowed to wither away. The way in which its leadership has changed the nature of the organisation makes it highly unlikely that PIRA will ever re-emerge as a terrorist organisation. PIRA has completely relinquished the leadership and other structures appropriate to a time of armed conflict.
Download or read book Sixteenth report of the Independent Monitoring Commission written by Independent Monitoring Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-09-18 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth and final report from the Independent Monitoring Commission on the progress made in the two year programme of security normalisation begun in August 2005. The monitoring is undertaken in the light of two considerations: an assessment of the paramilitary threat, and the British Government's obligation to ensure the safety and security of the community as a whole. The Commission believes the Provisional IRA is committed to the political path and has abandoned terrorism and violence. Dissident republican groups, however, continue to pose a threat to both the security forces and the community at large. Loyalist paramilitaries do not pose a threat, though the Commission notes that the UDA has made no progress in decommissioning weapons. The security normalisation is examined under several headings: the use of military in support of the Police Service of Northern Ireland; the repeal of counter-terrorist legislation particular to Northern Ireland; the police estate; and patterns of police patrolling. Of particular note is the fact that, for the second year running, the parades of 12 July were policed without the need for military assistance. Various annexes detail the closure of towers, observation posts, and military bases, and the monthly troop levels and military helicopter use in Northern Ireland over the two year period. Overall, the Commission finds that the requirements of the programme have been met.

Book excerpt: This book provides an account and analysis of policing in Northern Ireland, following the RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary) from the start of 'the troubles' in the 1960s up to 1999. It focuses on three key aspects of the police legitimation process: reform measures which are implemented to redress a legitimacy crisis; representational strategies which are invoked to offer positive images of policing; and public responses to these various strategies. The book also makes a powerful contribution to wider current debates about police legitimacy, police-community relations, community resistance, and conflict resolution.
