LAWYERS, POLICE AND THE NATIONAL CRIME AUTHORITY - A REJOINDER TO CORNS

As against views recently put forward by Dr Corns, the article argues that inter-disciplinary difficulties between police and lawyers in the National Crime Authority have been largely due to personal difference s rather than the 'competing ideologies'; of the two groups; that the results achieved by the authority and like organisations which have la wyer-led teams do not support claims of 'structural' or 'inherent' ten sion between 'competing ideologies. and that, despite assertions to th e contrary, most police find working at the authority a professionally rewarding experience.
