Gathering and analyzing of information is a responsibility that
police intelligence units are thought to do in relative isolation.
Intelligence work in the United States and Europe, however, has
been significantly transformed in recent years into a more
collaborative process that melds the police with a mix of outsiders
to make the practice of acquiring and assessing information more
democratic. This volume examines how this partnership paradigm has
transformed the ways in which participants gather, analyze and use
intelligence for security problems ranging from petty nuisances and
violent crimes to urban riots, organized crime and terrorism. The
book's expert contributors provide a comparative look at police
intelligence by exploring how emerging collaborative ventures have
reshaped the way police define and prioritize public safety
concerns. The book compares local security partnerships in both
centralized and decentralized systems, presenting an unparalleled
discussion of police intelligence not only in the English-speaking
world, but also in countries like Germany and France, whose
adoption of this collaborative paradigm has seldom been studied.
Ultimately, this book provides a timely debate about the
effectiveness of intelligence gathering tactics and the legitimacy
of police tactics and related procedural justice concerns. Because
this book situates itself at the intersection of several
disciplines, it will find an audience in multiple fields. Its
diverse readership includes scholars and students of policing and
security studies in law schools, criminal justice programs and
political science and sociology departments. Other significant
audiences will include professionals and researchers in comparative
law, comparative criminal procedure and the study of law and
society. Contributors include: H. Aden, A. Barker, A. Crawford, J.
de Maillard, T. Delpeuch, R. Epstein, J.A. Fagan, J. Gauthier, F.
Lemieux, P. Manning, T.T. Meares, C. Mouhanna, C. Perras, J.E.
Ross, S.J. Schulhofer, W.G. Skogan, N. Tilley, T. Tyle
