Public police forces are a regular phenomenon in most jurisdictions
around the world, yet their highly divergent legal context draws
surprisingly little attention. Bringing together a wide range of
police experts from all around the world, this book provides an
overview of traditional and emerging fields of public policing. In
this handbook, academics and practitioners explore the relationship
between policing and the law and focus on case material and human
rights issues. The book concludes that public policing is far from
self-evident, particularly in an era where more emphasis is placed
upon private security, anti-terrorism and modern technology. As
digital and global societies demand new solutions to rapidly
changing social challenges, public police will undergo a
transformation. New material and findings are presented with an
international-comparative perspective. It is a must-read for
students of policing, security and law and professionals in related
fields. Contributors include: F. Allum, P. de Hert, W. de Lint, M.
