Abstract
This chapter focuses on three interrelated issues in the context of the 43 constabularies in England and Wales: first, the different definitions of the policy process both per se and specifically in police research; secondly, the formal players involved in the determination of policy at different stages of this process; the third task is to evaluate the role of institutionalised power and authority in managing the conflicts and contradictions which characterise relations between policy-makers at different levels.
