“…It would also include issues of communication and leadership. Harrison and Adlard (2018), for example, discuss the importance of effective intra-police communication and leadership in public order policing to avoid the generation of 'additional disorder' (the topic of failure demand is discussed below). While one might argue that classifying report-writing and other administrative tasks directly related to reactive incidents are part of reactive demand, we suggest that these tasks are more usefully conceptualised as being distinct as this provides a better understanding of what impacts upon officer time.…”

As literature around policing and society grows, there is increased use of, and focus upon the concept of police 'demand'. The concept itself, however, is ill-defined and no consensus exists about how it should be measured. This paper addresses these issues by undertaking a scoping review of literature on the topic, and by exploring how demand has been conceptualised in both academic and practitioner communities. The review reveals that while key interdependencies between police demand and supply are widely discussed, they are often analysed in isolation. To add to the academic discussion of police demand, the paper introduces a comprehensive conceptualisation including the various forms police demand can take and the different manifestations of drivers for police demand. Subsequently, it outlines several approaches that might be levied to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of demand management approaches. These include the consideration of trade-offs that need to be considered. For example, there is a need to balance any resources allocated to deal with proactive demand reduction and that necessary for (reactive) response. Considering the dynamics of police demand andby necessitysupply through the lens of complex adaptive systems we propose potential ways forward that capitalise on this framing.

This article explores how policing identities shape and inform understanding and practice within public order (PO) policing. Of particular focus is how police use and apply their national identity as a means of explaining their PO policing approach. The study was based in South Wales, UK and findings are drawn from a qualitative multi-methodological approach with the regional police force. I identified that officers drew upon a stereotypical version of Welsh identity to explain their approach to PO policing that was largely characterised as friendly and interactive. Officers claimed that it was their reflexive instinct to engage in this way because this was simply a manifestation of their Welsh identity and character. While this was an important characteristic and source of pride for officers, I argue that this identity appeared to mask, or in some cases enable, PO policing that had a more traditional focus of law and order.
