What is the impact of gender diversity and political orientation on a police students' career aspirations and attitudes to policing? These are some of the questions addressed by this longitudinal project, following police students in seven European countries. The unique data material makes it possible to explore a wide range of topics relevant to the future development of policing, police education, and police science more generally. Part one presents an overview of the different goals and models of police education in the seven participating countries. Part two describes what type of student is attracted to police education, taking into consideration educational background, political orientation and career aspirations. Part three shows the social impact of police education by examining students' orientations towards emerging competence areas, students' career aspirations, and students' attitudes concerning trust, cynicism and legalism. The overall results show that police students are strikingly similar across different types of police education. Students in academic institutions are at least as interested in street patrolling as students in vocational training institutions. Gender and recruitment policies matters more in relation to career preferences than education models. The national context plays a more important role than the type of police education system. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in policing, criminology, sociology, social theory, cultural studies and those interested in how police education shapes its graduates"--
