This book takes a critical and comparative approach to the
analysis of the governance of police stops across Europe.
It draws on an EU COST Action research network on Police
Stops which engaged academics and practitioners from 29
countries to better understand the practice of police
stops. It begins by examining how police stops are defined
and the various legal rules and levels of accountability afforded.
The chapters are arranged by theme to focus on a core aspect
of the governance of police stops. These include:Â legal
frameworks and police discretion; internal governance; external
accountability and civilian oversight; possibilities for legal
recourse; and the different roles of data and
technology. Each compares the distinct approaches
evident across Europe, often employing case studies. The book
adopts a critical approach, acknowledging governance as contested
and involving diverse (state, non-state and supranational)
actors. It considers implications for policing in a rapidly
changing environment globally.
