Abstract

In the three jurisdictions of the United Kingdom, the specialized mechanisms for dealing with complaints against the police do not conform to one single model, and they have varying degrees of external involvement and oversight. This article examines various models for police complaints and reviews the three systems operating in England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. It concludes that the success of the system in Northern Ireland (the civilian control model) highlights the inadequacies of the other systems, and presents persuasive reasons for extending this model to other parts of the United Kingdom.
