This book takes a critical and comparative approach to the
analysis of the governance of police stops across Europe.
It draws on an EU COST Action research network on Police
Stops which engaged academics and practitioners from 29
countries to better understand the practice of police
stops. It begins by examining how police stops are defined
and the various legal rules and levels of accountability afforded.
The chapters are arranged by theme to focus on a core aspect
of the governance of police stops. These include:Â legal
frameworks and police discretion; internal governance; external
accountability and civilian oversight; possibilities for legal
recourse; and the different roles of data and
technology. Each compares the distinct approaches
evident across Europe, often employing case studies. The book
adopts a critical approach, acknowledging governance as contested
and involving diverse (state, non-state and supranational)
actors. It considers implications for policing in a rapidly
changing environment globally.
Smart societies pose new challenges for police organizations.
Demands for more efficiency and effectiveness test police
organizations which are often resistant to change. This book uses
the concept of the abstract police to describe the way in which
police organizations have tried to adapt to these new evolutions
and the consequences. The chapters stem from a conference called
"Street Policing in a Smart Society" which sought to frame and
analyse these developments in policing. In this book, the concept
of the abstract police is introduced, analysed and then challenged
from different angles, looking at the evolutions related to
technology, plural policing, police discretion and police decision
making. As such, the book is a reflection of current debates on
policing and police organization, aiming to give input to the
debate by providing new insights on police and police work.
In today's globalized society, an international exchange of ideas
and views is indispensable within the field of social sciences,
including criminology and criminal justice studies. The research
group Governance of Security (GofS) fosters contemporary
international discourses on issues of crime and crime control. In
2008, GofS started a research paper series, combining theoretical
and empirical articles on issues reflecting the research activities
of GofS. This research group is a collaboration between Ghent
University and Ghent University College in Belgium. GofS
concentrates its research around the study of administrative and
judicial policy that have been developed with respect to new issues
of crime and insecurity. The GofS series Governance of Security
Research Papers (GofS) is published by Maklu Publishing (Belgium).
