商品簡介
Bowling (law, King's College, London) and Sheptycki (criminology, York University, Toronto) describe the theory and practice of global policing, examining the core principles of international police work and exploring the interactions of law enforcement with national and international standards of law, policy, and social norms. The text covers topics such as general theories of global policing, policing and the transnational state system, global policing architecture, occupational structures of international law enforcement and investigation, and global policing practices in a variety of specific contexts. Chapters focus on several policing categories from drug trafficking and third party conflict management to international terrorism. The work highlights the success of these operations in practical terms while shedding light on the violations of law and social contracts that are often key features of this success.
