Book Description
Community-oriented policing (COP) is the ideology and policy model espoused in the mission statements of nearly all policing forces throughout the world. However, the COP philosophy is interpreted differently by different countries and police forces, resulting in practices that may in fact run far afield of the community-based themes of partnership, responsiveness, and transparency. Community Policing: International Patterns and Comparative Perspectives provides a comprehensive survey of purported practices of COP, clarifying the concept and differentiating true COP from other models which follow the ideology in name only. International contributors profile practices in five continents Using a case study approach, this eye-opening discourse reveals and examines contemporary patterns of alleged community policing across five continents. Providing insiders’ insight into the myriad practices in a variety of communities, the authors highlight the fact that policing in the countries profiled is heavily influenced by several factors. No matter how strongly the vision of COP permeates a police force’s mission, the significant factors that influence the policing culture are existing social and cultural traditions and structures, conventional methods already in place, the cultural and ideological language that sustains these practices, the efforts of entrepreneurs to argue for or against new ways of policing, and the social capital base found in the society. Arriving at the conclusion that there is no consensual model of community policing, the detailed analysis in this volume makes this absence of agreement abundantly clear. Separating rhetoric from reality, this illuminating study is a practical, realistic contribution to the expanding literature on community-oriented policing.

Book Description
This book offers an analysis of the policing of terrorism in a variety of national and international contexts. Centered on developments since the events of September 11, 2001, the study devotes its empirical attention to important police aspects of counter-terrorism in the United States and additionally extends its range comparatively to other nations, including Israel and Iraq, and to the global level of international police organizations such as Interpol and Europol. Situated in the criminology of terrorism and counter-terrorism, this book offers a fascinating look into the contemporary organization of law enforcement against terrorism, which will significantly influence the conditions of global security in the foreseeable future.

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade: 2.0, , language: English, abstract: In a speech in 2006, the Secretary General of the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO) referred to Interpol as ‘the world’s largest international police organization, the world’s only global police organization, and the world’s most effective international police body’. With 188 member countries the ICPO is the second largest international organization after the United Nations , based on intergovernmental cooperation between domestic law enforcement services, the so called National Central Bureaus (NCB). In times when transnational (organized) crime and terrorism increase exceedingly through globalization and the internationalization of transportation and communication systems as well as international trade, the global role of Interpol and the need to react rapidly and effectively emerge as well. Whenever two or more countries are involved in a criminal act, it is a matter of the International Criminal Police Organization. National police agencies adopt a double role: As a states executive branch they are not fully independent from political interventions. The national justice system and the securing of civil society are subjects to the state in order to control social violence and destruction, and to protect the citizens from victimization in the domestic arena. In short: It is a matter of state sovereignty. Related to the international level and the membership in Interpol, the police can instead not be equated with national governments. The NCBs are the `key element[s] in the day-to-day performance of the tasks identified with Interpol ́ and are consequently political actors in international relations.

Book Description
The 22nd Annual Meeting of the International Police Executive Symposium was held in August 2012 at the United Nations Plaza in New York. Chaired by Dr. Garth den Heyer, the symposium focused on the links between economic development, armed violence, and public safety. Drawn from these proceedings, Economic Development, Crime, and Policing: Global Perspectives presents the insight of police leaders and researchers from a number of countries. They provide worldwide perspectives and case studies about the complex interrelations and influence of these issues on police practice in developed, developing, and transitioning countries. Topics include: Youth violence in society Economic downturn and global crime trends Restorative justice and recidivism Community-based policing Investigation techniques applied to financial crimes Policing gang violence Implementation of the rule of law in postconflict countries Policing transportation infrastructures The book organizes these topics according to regional perspectives (global, modern democracies, emerging democracies, and newly industrialized countries). It highlights ongoing response efforts related to challenges facing the police in emerging or newly democratized states. The book concludes with a comprehensive review of the fundamental elements of police reform and explores how such changes might affect society. It discusses the role of society in reforming police systems and suggests new directions for this broad research agenda. This book is a co-publication with the International Police Executive Symposium.

Book Description
If police are the problem, what’s the solution? Tens of millions of people poured onto the streets for Black Lives Matter, bringing with them a wholly new idea of public safety, common security, and the delivery of justice, communicating that vision in the fiery vernacular of riot, rebellion, and protest. A World Without Police transcribes these new ideas—written in slogans and chants, over occupied bridges and hastily assembled barricades—into a compelling, must-read manifesto for police abolition. Compellingly argued and lyrically charged, A World Without Police offers concrete strategies for confronting and breaking police power, as a first step toward building community alternatives that make the police obsolete. Surveying the post-protest landscape in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Oakland, as well as the people who have experimented with policing alternatives at a mass scale in Latin America, Maher details the institutions we can count on to deliver security without the disorganizing interventions of cops: neighborhood response networks, community-based restorative justice practices, democratically organized self-defense projects, and well-resourced social services. A World Without Police argues that abolition is not a distant dream or an unreachable horizon but an attainable reality. In communities around the world, we are beginning to glimpse a real, lasting justice in which we keep us safe.

Book Description
Crime threats are increasingly global and all police agencies must now routinely deal with transnational and international issues such as terrorism, e-crime, and human trafficking. Police officers often find themselves working closely with colleagues from other countries either as part of international investigations or on assignment with one of the increasing number of police contingents deployed in peacekeeping and capacity building roles. This new book covers the three key areas of the international dimension of policing: comparative policing and the creation of international "good practice" cooperative efforts to respond to emerging transnational and international crime threats; and peace operations and capacity building in post-conflict and transitional societies.

This excellent book provides a clearly written overview of policing around the world in the early decades of the twenty-first century." -- Michael J. Palmiotto, Wichita State University "Policing is too important to be taken for granted! It is a vocation vastly different to most others in that it has the potential to seriously interfere with the lives and liberties of ordinary citizens. This scholarly work certainly acknowledges this and reinforces the importance of understanding policing in its different organizational and cross-cultural settings. Thorough and insightful, this book is a must for those of us who care about the role of police in society. It provides an appreciation of the many dimensions of international and transnational policing in the world today and its many challenges." -- John Murray APM, BA, LLB, MBA, GCLP, former Chief Police Officer of the Australian Capital Territory "This book covers hitherto uncharted areas and lucidly presents the critically important contemporary issues relating to transnational and international policing." -- Dilip K. Das Ph.D., President of International Police Executive Symposium, Editor-in-Chief of Police Practice and Research: An International Journal (PPR), Human Rights Consultant to the United Nations, and Professor Criminal Justice "In the growing literature on international policing, John Casey''s Policing the World is a particularly useful contribution both in the breadth and the reach of its discussions. Casey broadly covers the entire field of international policing in reviewing comparative police systems and policing practices, international police organizations and the policing of international crimes, and the role of civilian police in peacekeeping. In view of its primary aim to reach college students, the book is supremely well organized through the use of central keywords, additional readings, and questions. Policing the World is a fine achievement to aid our understanding of international policing in many of its fascinating components." -- Mathieu Deflem, University of South Carolina "Professor Casey has introduced a wide-ranging and original treatment of the fast-changing, multifaceted world of international and transnational policing. Through the use of diverse case studies, this book introduces the reader in a clear, accessible way to the myriad forms policing is taking in the twenty-first century, and to the many challenges these changes present for governments, citizens, and police themselves." -- Andrew Goldsmith, Executive Director and Professor of Law at Centre for Transnational Crime Prevention, University of Wollongong"Policing the World by John Casey is a short, vivid, critical, and pedagogically inviting introductory book on the globalization of policing. It is the kind of book that fits wonderfully into the suitcase of a UN police peacekeeper who flies to his or her first mission." -- Dominique Wisler, Consultant to the United Nations"This text is a much needed, important and timely contribution to the rapidly growing challenge of international policing, not only because of its depth and diversity of coverage but because it addresses the reality of the implications, principles--and opportunities--associated with the practice of international policing." -- Mick Palmer, former Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police and former member of the Executive Committee of Interpol
