Taking a unique and critical approach to the study of Public Law,
this book explores the main topics in UK Public Law from a range of
underexplored perspectives and amplifies the voices of scholars who
are underrepresented in the field. As such, it represents a
much-needed complement to traditional textbooks in Public Law.
Including insights from a diverse list of contributors, the book: *
Enriches students' understanding of the dynamics that emerge within
public law; * Highlights the impact of historical and societal
inequities on public law norms; * Demonstrates the ways in which
those norms may impact minorities and perpetuate inequalities. With
most chapters written by underrepresented or minoritised persons in
the field, this text offers students a critical, rich, and
insightful approach to public law.

Police powers to stop, question and search people in public places,
and the way these powers are exercised, is a contentious aspect of
police-community relations, and a key issue for criminological and
policing scholarship, and for public debate about liberty and
security more generally. Whilst monitoring and controlling minority
populations has always been a feature of police work, new fears,
new 'suspect populations' and new powers intended to control them
have arisen in the face of instability associated with rapid global
change. This book synthesises and extends knowledge about stop and
search practices across a range of jurisdictions and contexts. It
explores the use of stop and search powers in relation to street
crime, terrorism and unauthorised migration in Britain, North
America, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia. The book covers
little researched practices such as road-blocks and ID checking,
and discusses issues such as fairness, effectiveness, equity and
racial profiling. It provides a substantive and theoretical
foundation for transnational and comparative research on police
powers in a global context. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Policing and Society.

In the transitional networked society, police power is no longer
constrained by the borders of the nation state. It has globalised.
Global Policing shows how security threats have been constructed by
powerful actors to justify the creation of a new global policing
architecture and how the subculture of policing shapes the world
system. Demonstrating how a theory of global policing is central to
understanding global governance, the text explores: - the 'new
security agenda' focused on serious organised crime and terrorism
and how this is transforming policing - the creation of global
organisations such as Interpol, regional entities such as Europol,
and national policing agencies with a transnational reach - the
subculture of the 'global cops', blurring boundaries between
police, private security, military and secret intelligence agencies
- the reality of transnational policing on the ground, its
effectiveness, legitimacy, accountability and future development.
Written by two leading international experts who bring cutting-edge
theoretical debates to life with case studies and examples, Global
Policing will prove captivating reading for students and scholars
in criminology, criminal justice, international relations, law and
sociology.
