Concerns over insecurity and questions of safety have become
central issues in social and political debates across Europe and
the western world. Crucial changes have followed as a result, such
as a redefinition of the role of the state in relation to policing
- a central theme of this book - and an explosion in the growth of
private policing. These developments have, in their turn,
heightened feelings of insecurity and safety, particularly where
populations have become increasingly mobile and societies more
socially fragmented, culturally diverse and economically
fragmented. Responses to insecurity now increasingly inform
decisions made by governments, organisations and ordinary people in
their social interactions. This book makes a key contribution to an
understanding of these developments, approaching the subject from a
range of perspectives, across several different disciplines. The
three parts of the book look at broader theoretical and thematic
issues, then at cross-national and pan-European developments and
debates in European governance, and finally explore specific
examples of local issues of community safety and the broader
implications these have. Leading figures in the field draw upon
criminological, legal, social, and political theory to shed new
light on what has become one of the most intractable problems
facing western societies.
