Abstract
Over the past thirty years, police services in the UK and Australia have
been subjected to a series of demands for change and reform. This
article describes these reforms as a shift from command and control
bureaucracy through markets to networks and argues that constant reform
is a result of the unintended consequences of change. Many of these
unintended consequences stem from the limitations and incompatibility of
each of these governing structures.We show that the conflicts between the
core ideas that distinguish each governing structure create dilemmas that
render all reforms continget.
