More than 30 years after its birth, the Schengen area of free
movement is under siege in Europe: new barriers are being erected
along land borders, military assets are increasingly deployed to
patrol the Mediterranean, while sophisticated surveillance tools
are used to keep track of the flows of people crossing into
European space. Bringing together perspectives from political
geography, critical criminology and legal theory, Policing Mobility
Regimes offers a systematic analysis of the impact that Frontex is
having on migration control strategies at the EU level and offers a
detailed empirical description of the agency’s organization and
operational activities. In addition, this book explores the meaning
behind the attempt at developing a post-national border control
strategy and what effect this might have on the geopolitics of
Europe’s borders. It contributes to the wider theoretical debate
on the relationships among migration, security and the
transformation of borders in contemporary Europe. An accessible and
compelling read, this book will appeal to all those engaged with
criminology, sociology, geography, politics and law as well as all
those interested in learning about Europe’s changing borders.

There are many histories of the police as a law-enforcement
institution, but no genealogy of the police as a form of power.
This book provides a genealogy of modern police by tracing the
evolution of "police science" and of police institutions in Europe,
from the ancien regime to the early 19th century. Drawing on the
theoretical path outlined by Michel Foucault at the crossroads
between historical sociology, critical legal theory and critical
criminology, it shows how the development of police power was an
integral part of the birth of the modern state's governmental
rationalities and how police institutions were conceived as
political technologies for the government and social disciplining
of populations. Understanding the modern police not as an
institution at the service of the judiciary and the law, but as a
complex political technology for governing the economic and social
processes typical of modern capitalist societies, this book shows
how the police have played an active role in actually shaping
order, rather than merely preserving it.
