This book argues that policing should be studied in a truly
comparative manner as a way of identifying more accurately the
diverse features of police organisations and the trends which
affect contemporary policing. Studying policing comparatively is
also a way to develop more sophisticated theories on the relations
between police, state, and society aiming at higher degree of
generalization. In particular, broadening the empirical basis,
often limited to Western countries, favours the formulation of more
encompassing theories. The comparative analysis, then, is used to
refine meso or macro theories on various aspects of policing. The
book covers the challenges of comparative research in diverse areas
of policing studies with innovative tools and approaches to allow
for the development of that subfield of policing. It is a
significant new contribution to policing studies, and will be a
great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of
Public Policy, Sociology, Political Science and Law. The chapters
in this book were originally published in Policing and Society.
