The intentions of 'community policing' are extensively contested. Is it about state surveillance, responding to the needs of community, or mystifying and providing a cloak of legitimacy for more coercive police practices?Through ethnographic research this book aims to shine a spotlight on these contested interpretations. The research in Burscough, Ormskirk and Skelmersdale is an attempt to clarify the issues and determine the success, or failure, of this approach to policing in terms of image, effectiveness, and responsiveness to the needs of diverse communities. The study includes the perceptions of contemporary policing practices from three hundred members of the public, one hundred from each of the areas specified above.The investigation incorporates extensive interviews with six officers, whose responses are utilised in the body of the text so that an in-depth perspective of the police interpretation of community policing can be analysed. Both aspects are combined so that a capacious impression of current opinions can be attained and thus develop an understanding of the way the police in Southwest Lancashire can be considered as community responsive. Community Policing in Southwest Lancashire reflects on how community policing can be reimagined to avert greater recourse to coercive policing.

Inspired by Julia Cameron's classic The Artist's Way, Eleanor set out on a project to write every morning, and crucially, to publish it on Substack that same morning; a commitment to press the button as soon as she'd finished, and before she had time to regret it. She set rules: she'd do no forward planning, she'd tell whatever story came to mind, the writing would take no longer than an hour, the reading of it, no longer than a minute. What came was A Memoir In 65 Postcards, the personal story that had been knocking about her system for well over twenty years. Questions were answered, and a puzzle was put together. Using the same rules of engagement, its follow up, The Recovery Diaries, became a deeper exploration of what emerged and how she is now.With humour and honesty, from a pagan commune to sobriety, this collection of essays and stories form a unique exploration of wealth, survival, the questions that haunt us, and what makes us human. It's you and me. It's where our worlds collide.
