Public 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 Research 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.

‘This is an interesting volume which adds a useful perspective to the study of policing. ... it does provide an important new view of policing and its relationship to legislation.’
– Peter Neyroud, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books
‘This collection provides a wealth of expert and detailed material from a strong representative selection of current international socio-legal scholarship on policing.’
– James Sheptycki, The Modern Law Review

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.
