Description
Book SynopsisPublic police forces are a regular phenomenon in most jurisdictions around the world, yet their highly divergent legal context draws surprisingly little attention. Bringing together a wide range of police experts from all around the world, this book provides an overview of traditional and emerging fields of public policing.
In this handbook, academics and practitioners explore the relationship between policing and the law and focus on case material and human rights issues. The book concludes that public policing is far from self-evident, particularly in an era where more emphasis is placed upon private security, anti-terrorism and modern technology. As digital and global societies demand new solutions to rapidly changing social challenges, public police will undergo a transformation.
New material and findings are presented with an international-comparative perspective. It is a must-read for students of policing, security and law and professionals in related fields.

Trade Review'This is a superb collection. Edited by one of the leading lights of applied research on policing, it brings together many of the top police comparativists of the past 30 years. From multi-agency to undercover policing, via data collection and terrorism, the widest range of topics is expertly assessed from the perspective of comparative police regulation. A 'must read' in the first truly global era of police research.' --Neil Walker, University of Edinburgh, UK
'This impressive collection of essays is valuable for both scholars and practitioners alike, lawyers and non-lawyers - the well qualified contributors range over the whole complex and problematic field of police cooperation. The clear synthesis of the issues by Monica Den Boer in the introduction is a tour de force.'
--Malcolm Anderson, The University of Edinburgh, UK
