Shifting oversight: the evolution of modern police performance management in England and Wales
分析了1979年至2023年英格兰和威尔士警察绩效管理的演变，识别出三次重大转变，从中央驱动转向地方主导，更注重结果改进。
This study analyzes the evolution of police performance management (PM) in England and Wales from 1979 to 2023 using the punctuated equilibrium model of organizational evolution. Through an analysis of four successive Governments, we identify three major shifts in the approach to police PM. We argue that continued changes to PM systems, frameworks, and cultures have led to a move from a centrally driven performance management agenda to a more fragmented but locally based approach, focused less on data collection and output measures, and more on improvements in outcomes. We consider the implications for PM of broader public sector bodies.
