Implications for restorative policing

It is at the juncture between the much investigated formal and less studied informal modes of policing that restorative policing emerges with its myriad of actors that incorporates both the activities of the police plus those of a range of policing nodes or agencies from the statutory, voluntary and commercial sector. Critics of Bayley and Shearing (2001) have argued that their network of policing nodes fails to capture the continued pre-eminence of sovereign states in shaping and delivering policing yet they identified an emergent trajectory through which restorative policing evolved and this has been recognised in more recent work (for example, Shearing 2016). The important role played by the state is evident in the case of restorative policing which, despite its roots in informal social structures, remains delivered through sovereign legal frameworks, and sovereign government auspices, across neo-liberal societies even when the majority of providers are from other sectors (Shearing 2016).

Drawing on Bayley and Shearing’s research agenda for this new configuration of policing, questions emerge about new or evolving mentalities, auspices and providers, and their technologies and techniques of policing. Therefore, key manifestations in the reconfiguration of policing and the neo-liberal rolling back of sovereign state functions for restorative policing include: (1) changes in the police role which resulted in an ongoing service-force tension within and across policing agencies; (2) the emergence of hybrid agencies/collaborations with new purposes and mentalities; (3) questions about the capacity of communities, voluntary organisations and the commercial sector to manage new roles and functions; and (4) ongoing diversification and adaptation in the shape of policing. Each of these areas will now be further explored in turn.
