- This article questions the relationship between neo-managerial reforms and professional practice in investigatory police units of two British forces. Neo-managerial reforms in the British police since the 1990s produced a stronger organisational integration and an increased internal accountability focused on numerical targets. These reforms receive contradictory judgments: some officers consider that numerical targets are beneficial to police activity, whilst others see them as unnecessary constraints with perverse effects. Despite its apparent rigidity, this performance regime still allows professional adaptations to operate within three logics: specialisation, management of temporality and different uses of quantitative indicators in team management.
