Third party policing represents a major shift in contemporary crime
control practices. As the lines blur between criminal and civil
law, responsibility for crime control no longer rests with state
agencies but is shared between a wide range of organisations,
institutions or individuals. The first comprehensive book of its
kind, Third Party Policing examines this growing phenomenon,
arguing that it is the legal basis of third party policing that
defines it as a unique strategy. Opening up the debate surrounding
this controversial topic, the authors examine civil and regulatory
controls necessary to this strategy and explore the historical,
legal, political and organizational environment that shape its
adoption. This innovative book combines original research with a
theoretical framework that reaches far beyond criminology into
politics and economics. It offers an important addition to the
world-wide debate about the nature and future of policing and will
prove invaluable to scholars and policy makers.
