THIS ARTICLE CRITIQUES DENNIS GOLDFORD'S ATTEMPT TO ADVANCE THE CURRENT DEBATE OVER ACCEPTABLE MODES OF CONSTITUTIONAL INTERPRETATION. THE AUTHOR FINDS THAT GOLDFORD'S LACK OF SYMPATHY FOR DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTIONALISM AS A FORM OF GOVERNMENT AND CONSEQUENT FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND THE PERMISSIBLE ROLE OF A CONSTITUTIONAL COURT WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF THAT FORM.

ON JANUARY 1ST 1985 S.106 OF THE POLICE AND CRIMINAL EVIDENCE ACT 1984 (PACE) CAME INTO FORCE. THE SECTION REQUIRES THAT "ARRANGEMENTS SHALL BE MADE IN EACH POLICE AREA FOR OBTAINING THE VIEWS OF PEOPLE IN THAT AREA ABOUT MATTERS CONCERNING THE POLICING OF THE AREA AND FOR OBTAINING THEIR COOPERATION WITH THE POLICE IN PREVENTING CRIME IN THE AREA. "RELATIVE TO OTHER PARTS OF THE ACT, IT IS AN UNCONTROVERSIAL PROVISION. DURING PASSAGE OF THE BILL IT EXCITED LITTLE PUBLIC ATTENTION: PARLIAMENT SPENT LITTLE TIME ON IT AND THERE WERE NO HEATED EXCHANGES OVER IT. THE IDEA OF CONSULTATION RECEIVED A MUTED WELCOME ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM. THE AUTHOR ARGUES, HOWEVER, THAT S.106 IS A SIGNIFICANT AND CONTENTIOUS POLICY INITIATIVE AND THAT IT LIES AT THE HEART OF THE CURRENT DEBATE ABOUT POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY. INDEED, DURING THE BATTLE NOW DRAWN UP BETWEEN THE MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES ON THIS ISSUE, THE AUTHOR EXPECTS THERE TO BE FREQUENT AND CONFLICTING REFERENCES TO THE MEANINGS WHICH CAN BE ATTACHED TO THE EXISTENCE AND OPERATION OF LOCAL CONSULTATION ARRANGEMENTS.

"Entrepreneurial Communities and Ecosystems: Theories in Culture, Empowerment, and Leadership examines the deep sociocultural dynamics supporting effective and emergent entrepreneurial ecosystems and communities for a new generation of ecosystem builders and researchers. The book provides current theories and discussion with relevant examples regarding culture, empowerment, and leadership in entrepreneurship to build more entrepreneurial communities anywhere, beginning with any set of local advantages. It clarifies the role of community in building an entrepreneurial ecosystem, and expands the theory on how entrepreneurial communities and ecosystems differ, and how they relate. The book also illuminates the often avoided discussion about power with special attention to diversity with examples of black, women, and LGBTQA+ entrepreneurship; provides a deep dive into the range of formal and informal education framed as entreprenology; ties the importance of entrepreneurship and entrepreneuring to resources available at the community, state, and national levels; and introduces a new concept - omnipreneurship - which puts the skills of entrepreneurship in the service of global benefit and everyday action. This research volume will be equally useful as an undergraduate or graduate text on the sociology of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship as it is a field guide for ecosystem builders, policy makers, nonprofits, and entrepreneurship and social researchers worldwide"--
