"It is hoped that, through this series, it will be possible to
accelerate the process of building knowledge about policing and
help bridge the gap between the two worlds-the world of police
research and police practice. This is an invitation to police
scholars and practitioners across the world to come and join in
this venture." -Dilip K. Das, PhD, Founding President,
International Police Executive Symposium (IPES) and Founding
Editor-in-Chief, Police Practice and Research: An International
Journal (PPR), from the Preface Policing in Israel presents
important advances in Israeli police science during the past
decade. It demonstrates how empirical research in countries outside
the traditional research domains of the United States, Europe, and
Australia can provide comparative legitimacy to key concepts and
findings in policing. It also addresses innovative questions in the
study of police, showing that there is much to learn about the
police enterprise by looking to Israel. The studies included in
this book contribute to the policing literature in three
significant ways. They replicate findings from English-speaking
countries on key issues such as hot-spots policing, thereby
supporting the validity of the findings and enabling a wider scope
of generalization. Also, they utilize unique Israeli conditions to
address questions that are difficult to test in other countries,
such as in counterterrorism. Finally, they ask innovative questions
in the study of policing that are yet to be addressed elsewhere.
Aside from providing better knowledge about policing in Israel, the
broader advances in police science that the book illustrates play
an important role. It contributes to major areas of contemporary
interest in policing literature, including crime control,
police-community relationships, and policing terrorism. Policing in
Israel gives you not only a broad picture of Israeli policing and
police research in the past decad
This volume provides insights on how recruitment patterns develop
for two related types of criminal networks: organized crime and
terrorism. It specifically explores the social, situational,
psychological, and economic drivers of recruitment. Although
organized crime networks and terrorism networks can differ in
underlying goals and motivations, this volume demonstrates common
drivers in their recruitment, which will provide insights for crime
prevention and intervention. The goal of the book is to explore the
current knowledge about these common drivers, as well as highlight
emerging research, to identify and prioritize a research agenda for
scholars, as well as policymakers. The research presented in this
work aims to fill existing gaps in the knowledge of recruitment to
both organized crime and terrorism. For each area, it provides a
systematic review of the existing research on social,
psychological, and economic drivers of recruitment. It then
presents findings from independent original research aimed to
explore new ground not covered in these previous studies. The
contributions to this volume were the result of a research project
funded by a European Union Horizon 2020 grant, and present a
diverse, international mix of expertise and cases. It will be of
interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, as
well as related fields such as sociology, psychology, and
international relations. Chapter 13 of this book is available open

Evidence-based policing (EBP) has become a key perspective for
practitioners and researchers concerned with the future of
policing. This volume provides both a review of where
evidence-based policing stands today and a consideration of
emerging trends and ideas likely to be important in the future. It
includes comparative and international contributions, as well as
researcher and practitioner perspectives. While emphasizing
traditional evidence-based methods and approaches, the book also
identifies barriers to the advancement of evidence-based policing
and expands the vision of evidence-based policing by critically
examining ethical and moral concerns and questions. The book's main
focus is not on what has to happen in police agencies to advance
EBP, but rather on an issue that has received far less attention -
the science that is necessary to produce for EBP to be successfully
integrated into policing.
