Policing in Smart Societies
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.
Efficiency and Bureaucratisation of Criminal Justice
This book tackles the growing issues concerning the managerialism and bureacratisation of criminal justice systems across a number of jurisdictions. Here, managerialism means the move towards more standardised, bureaucratic and efficiency-driven systems, influenced by a desire to ensure predictability, control risks and, ultimately, economic savings via a more efficient process. The volume explores the phenomenon of managerialism in selected national criminal legal systems, covering all stages of criminal case processing from arrest to the imposition of sanction. The selected countries represent diverse socio-economic, political, cultural and legal traditions including common law, civil law,...

Topics include: • research methods in police research; • police professionalisation; • police and diversity...

Policing and Public Trust
The treatment of victims and complainants by the police is examined in this pioneering new work. Case studies, based on interviews carried out at the University of Portsmouth’s Institute of Criminal Justice Studies, in the United Kingdom, reveal that victims and complainants are routinely discredited by police agencies. Whilst in the United States, victims may include anyone subjected to police interrogation, particularly those of African-American origin, complainants across the globe may include victims of rape, bereaved families, and individual officers. The reason why certain victims and complainants are targeted by policing agencies is complex and leads to an investigation into police ...
Routledge International Handbook of Policing Crises and Emergencies

It provides a unique, scholarly, and international overview on policing crises and emergencies, addressing the different contexts and challenges of working in extraordinary circumstances, dealing with unfamiliarity, and working with and alongside other agencies, as well as the significant political and public requirement to return as quickly as possible to normality. Sections include coverage of: • Policing disasters • Policing public health emergencies • Policing political protest • Policing terror and conflict • Policing mass violence • Policing extreme crises and emergencies Each section is filled with a variety of international case studies examining best practice in the policing context, together with a scene-setting chapter tying together key theoretical and conceptual concepts.

Discretionaire ruimte in de handhaving
Handelen of niet? Op welke manier en in welke mate? Alle handhavers worden in hun dagelijks werk met deze vraag geconfronteerd. Politie, bijzondere inspectie-diensten, bijzondere opsporingsambtenaren en gemeenschapswachten. Handhavingswerk, en politiewerk in het bijzonder, gebeurt binnen een welomlijnd kader van wet- en regelgeving en – theoretisch gezien – zou de interactie met de burger ook vanuit dat kader verlopen. In de praktijk wordt het dagelijks handhavingswerk echter slechts gedeeltelijk door regels geleid en bestaat er zoiets als ‘discretionaire ruimte’. Dit is de handelingsmarge of beslissingsvrijheid die frontlijnwerkers bezitten om zinvol en professioneel te handelen. Di...
Rurale politie
In dit Cahier staat politie en politiewerk in rurale gebieden centraal. In hoeverre is de politie op het platteland anders dan de politie in de grootstedelijke context? In hoeverre verschillen de problemen die zich voordoen in de stad en op het platteland? Welke culturele aspecten spelen een rol bij de sfeer en werkopvattingen bij de rurale politie ten opzichte van politie in de stad? Dit Cahier maakt een vergelijking tussen de Nederlandse en Belgische situatie. In Nederland wordt het beeld van politie en politiewerk overwegend bepaald door de politie in grootstedelijke context. Dit komt onder meer tot uiting in de beschikbare middelen voor de politie die vooral naar de stedelijke gebieden z...
Nieuwe spanningen
Polarisatie en ongenoegen onder de bevolking leiden tot nieuwe spanningen in de samenleving en protesten tegen overheidsbeleid. Het gaat over thema’s als klimaat, zorg, energie, dierenwelzijn, racisme en – niet in de laatste plaats – de coronapandemie. Deze protesten uiten zich in regulier georganiseerde demonstraties. Maar ook in schijnbaar uit het niets opkomende acties: mede door gebruik van sociale media worden in een mum van tijd hele groepen mensen gemobiliseerd. Daarbij treedt meer dan eens vermenging op met verschillende extremistische acties. Deze nieuwe maatschappelijke spanningen stellen het politieoptreden voor de nodige uitdagingen en vraagstukken. Operationeel betreft het vragen over de intelligencepositie en het handelingsperspectief. Op strategisch vlak speelt de wijze waarop de politie zich moet verhouden tot polariserende tendensen en tot politiek en bestuur. En hoe gaat de politie om met interne manifestaties van deze nieuwe spanningen?
