This book critically examines how countries across Europe have
dealt with the COVID crisis from a policing and security
perspective. Across the chapters, contributors from different
countries examine the data, press coverage, and provide
professional observations on how policing, law enforcement, police
powers and community relations were managed. They focus on how
security and governmental actors often failed to align with the
formal scripts that were specifically designed for
crisis-management, resulting in the wavering application of
professional discretion and coercive powers. Their different
approaches were evident: in some regions police were less
dominantly visible compared to other regions, where the police used
a top-down visible and repressive stance vis-a-vis public alignment
with COVID rules, including the imposition of lockdown and curfews.
Some contributors draw on data from the COROPOL (Corona Policing)
Monitor which collated data on crime, plural policing and public
order in Europe and around the world during the early phases of the
COVID crisis. Overall, this book seeks to provide comparative
critical insights and commentary as well as a practical and
operational understanding of security governance during the
COVID-19 crisis and the lessons learned to improve future
preparedness.
