  1. Why does community engagement matter? Professor Ian Loader Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford

  2. Does community engagement matter? • Why engage the public? The path travelled . . . • Cometh the PCC: From bureaucratic to democratic accountability? • The Coalition, crime-fighting and community engagement

  3. Making sense of police reform • Two puzzles about the Coalition’s police reform agenda - Why so far, so fast (and to what end)? Why PCC’s? • Releasing the police’s inner crime-fighter: - Regulation-busting; Winsor, outsourcing, crime maps • The meaning of PCC’s: A (crime-fighting) voice for the people?

  4. Why the police (and community engagement) matter • Beyond the myth of crime-fighting • What do the police do? Why do the police matter? • Two lessons: - The question of how policing is done - The importance of permanent public deliberation

  5. Back to PCC’s . . . • The promise of PCC’s - responsive policing; democratic priority-setting; an experiment in extending and enhancing democracy • The dangers of (and for) PCC’s: - Remote, headline-chasing crime-fighters • A proposal for PCC’s: An office for public engagement
