This book explores the relationship between policing and mental
health. Police services around the world are innovating at pace in
order to develop solutions to the problems presented, and popular
models are being shared internationally. Nevertheless, disparities
and perceptions of unfairness remain commonplace. Innovations
remain poorly funded and largely unproven. Drawing together the
insights of eminent academics in the UK, the US, Australia and
South Africa, the edited collection evaluates the condition of
mental health and policing as an interlocked policy area,
uncovering and addressing a number of key issues which are shaping
police responses to mental health. Due to a relative lack of
academic texts pertaining to developments in England and Wales, the
volume contains a distinct section on relevant policies and
practices. It also includes sections on US and Australian
approaches, focusing on Crisis Intervention Teams (CITs), Mental
Health Intervention Teams (MHITs), stressors and innovations from
Boston in the US to Queensland in Australia. Written in a clear and
direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in
policing, criminology, sociology, mental health, cultural studies,
social theory and those interested in learning about the condition
and trajectory of police responses to mental health.

This edited text draws together the insights of numerous worldwide
eminent academics to evaluate the condition of predictive policing
and artificial intelligence (AI) as interlocked policy areas.
Predictive and AI technologies are growing in prominence and at an
unprecedented rate. Powerful digital crime mapping tools are being
used to identify crime hotspots in real-time, as pattern-matching
and search algorithms are sorting through huge police databases
populated by growing volumes of data in an eff ort to identify
people liable to experience (or commit) crime, places likely to
host it, and variables associated with its solvability. Facial and
vehicle recognition cameras are locating criminals as they move,
while police services develop strategies informed by machine
learning and other kinds of predictive analytics. Many of these
innovations are features of modern policing in the UK, the US and
Australia, among other jurisdictions. AI promises to reduce
unnecessary labour, speed up various forms of police work,
encourage police forces to more efficiently apportion their
resources, and enable police officers to prevent crime and protect
people from a variety of future harms. However, the promises of
predictive and AI technologies and innovations do not always match
reality. They often have significant weaknesses, come at a
considerable cost and require challenging trade- off s to be made.
Focusing on the UK, the US and Australia, this book explores themes
of choice architecture, decision- making, human rights,
accountability and the rule of law, as well as future uses of AI
and predictive technologies in various policing contexts. The text
contributes to ongoing debates on the benefits and biases of
predictive algorithms, big data sets, machine learning systems, and
broader policing strategies and challenges. Written in a clear and
direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars of
policing, criminology, crime science, sociology, computer science,
cognitive psychology and all those interested in the emergence of
AI as a feature of contemporary policing.
This book draws together the insights of eminent academics and
specialists to present an overview of past and present approaches
to transnational policing throughout the Anglophone world. It aims
to revitalize the study of transnational policing by showing that
past and present developments in this field remain poorly
understood, while also suggesting future avenues of research.
Containing chapters on police history, police accountability,
gendered hate crime in an increasingly online world,
counter-radicalisation strategies being pursued around the world,
internet-facilitated sex trafficking and changes in organised
crime, amongst others, the authors adopt revisionist, orthodox and
progressive views in order to challenge our understanding and
appreciation of developments in transnational policing. All of the
chapters in the book use policing models employed within the UK as
either their focal point or as a point of comparison so that direct
comparisons and contrasts can be examined. The Development of
Transnational Policing illustrates distinctive and separate aspects
of what remains an undoubtedly complex and dynamic field, but also
forms an overview of developments and the dearth of academic
research which surround them, in order hopefully to inspire
researchers, policymakers and practitioners alike.
