Rectifying the fact that little criminological attention has been
paid to the notion that the security of flows increasingly embodies
concerns at the heart of contemporary policing practices, this book
makes a significant contribution to knowledge about the policing
and security governance of flows. The book focuses on how the
growing centrality of flows affects both contemporary 'risks' and
the policing organisations in charge of managing them. The
contributors analyse flows such as event security; border controls
and migration; the movement of animal parts; security-related
intelligence; and organisational flows. The emerging criminology of
these, as well as flows of money, information and numerous
commodities, from pharmaceuticals to minerals or malicious
software, is leading to critical advances in the understanding of
the changing harm landscapes and the practices that have developed
to manage them. Taken as a whole, the book opens up the
conversation, and encourages the invention of new conceptual,
theoretical and methodological tools to help criminology tackle and
better understand the mobile world in which we live. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Global Crime.
