Police Performance Measurement and Human Rights

Paul M. Collier

Public Money & Management, 2001, vol. 21, issue 3, 35-39

Abstract: The management of police performance through cash-limited budgets, performance indicators and crime statistics is the result of a control systems paradigm. This article uses examples of police practice to raise the possibility that this performance culture may be in tension with human rights legislation. The article suggests a shift to a values-based learning paradigm and the need for greater balance between the rationality of a control paradigm and the subjectivity of values.
