- Abstract
- The public police consitute a paradox: police in Australia are both sworn officers and employees. Although police control overt manifestations of industrial disputation such as lockouts and pickets, they can be militant unionists themselves. Policing is one of the most highly unionised industries in Australia with some state memberships nearing a rate of 99 percent. Policing is immersed in ambiguities: police act as the state's coercive agent but poice operational independence also determines when and how to act. "From introduction"
