商品簡介
This volume explores how the particularities of cities, municipal politics, and policing strategies interact with each other in Europe (primarily). Ten papers discuss such topics as strategies of "community oriented policing" in German cities, the ways that the ecological and socio-political structure of Paris has influenced police interventions, perceived safety in public spaces in Norwegian cities, policing strategies and street policing routines in Lisbon, contextual processes that influence security measures in urban Scotland, the "pluralization" of policing in South Africa, responses of police and local authorities to perceived security issues in the capital of Slovenia, the consequences of social and political change on spatial transformations and policing strategies in English and Welsh cities, the interrelationship between popular journalism and police activism in the policing of street prostitution in Italy, and the decentralization of the organizational structures of Belgian policing.
