Britain, the country of the village bobby, where policemen carried truncheons not firearms, and relied on social capital to maintain order, is turning to Bill Bratton, an American, who hails from a society in which there is often a hostile relationship between the public and law enforcement, to provide advice on community policing. What an ironic reversal of roles.
In the same vein, perhaps the Brits might return the favor by offering some suggestions for reforming the American political system?
