Meticulous … Harper offers an insider’s angle and it is revelatory in its findings.” Camden New Journal The winner will be chosen at random by software, from all entries received and announced on 16/10/23 Broken Yard is a riveting, eye-opening account of corruption, racism and mismanagement inside Britain’s most famous police force.

At a meeting on 1 June 2012, Grabiner said he was ‘mystified’ by the way the investigation was heading as he thought there had been a ‘presumption’ there would be no corporate charges if the company co-operated.

At the root of all this are a number of factors. They include criminals working as officers, ranging from the corrupt to the psycho­pathic, to sweeping cuts that make the job virtually impossible, huge rises in “new” cyber crime that require new skills and resources, and the drug laws that give criminals easy access to huge incomes, which in turn fuels other criminal activity.

One theory is advanced by Roy Ramm, who joined the Met in 1970 and rose to the rank of commander, and is quoted for his criticism of senior officers at Scotland Yard: “They are professional police managers who have risen through the ranks without trace, without ever standing in the witness box and giving evidence. This breed of political senior officers has done immense damage to policing,” is his assessment.

It is in all of our interests that Sir Mark Rowley makes a success of this difficult job and all right-thinking people should wish him well. Barely a week goes by without the Metropolitan Police Service plunging into a new crisis. Steeped in ignominy and depleted in numbers, the Met is a shadow of its former self. Former NotW crime reporter Lucy Panton was one such scapegoat. She was made to reveal her sources in the Met as Murdoch tried to shift blame from the managerial strata to the workers in newsrooms. Her testimony does not exonerate her fully but it does show the lengths to which the rich and powerful will go to conceal their behaviour. The scandal surround­ing the murder of Stephen Lawrence is a relevant starting point. Harper includes links between officers investigating the case and the father of one of the convicted men, how officers spied on Stephen’s parents, and how they bullied and targeted Stephen’s best friend.
