    Abstract : Global threats, such as cross-border crime and terrorism are on the rise! At least, this is a popular notion amongst politicians, policy makers and the police, who are therefore advocating a need for policing to become as peripatetic and pervasive as these criminal developments. This has led to a rise in transnational or international police collaborations, notably through institutions such as Interpol, Europol, Frontex, UNPOL and many bilateral partnerships. READ MORE

    Abstract : There is a vast literature on plural policing and the ways in which non-governmental actors now have and are assuming more responsibility for crime control.

The first study focuses on the circumstances of the detection of minor drug offenses, the grounds for suspicion and use of coercive measures. READ MORE
