This book provides a stocktake and comparative socio-legal analysis of law enforcement cooperation strategies in four different regions of the world: the European Union (EU), North America, Greater China and Australasia.
The work analyses law enforcement cooperation mechanisms within the socio-legal framework of global normmaking. The strategies addressed range from legal frameworks facilitating cooperation to formal and informal police networks and cooperation practices. The study also takes into account crime-specific engagement, for example campaigns focusing on drug crimes, terrorism, financial crime, kidnappings and other offences. It explores challenges in policing practice and human rights protection in each region that could be countered by existing strategies in another. As regions usually develop more advanced cooperation mechanisms than exist at a global scale, strategies found in the former could help find solutions for the latter. To map existing strategies and assess their impact on both human rights and policing practice this study relies on an assessment of the primary and secondary literature sources in each region as well as interviews with practitioners ranging from senior police officers to prosecutors, government officials, customs and military staff.
This book presents a valuable resource for academics and postgraduate students, as well as policing and criminal justice practitioners, government officials and policy makers.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The literature on international police cooperation has been growing exponentially over the last few decades but there is nothing quite like Saskia Hufnagel's new book, Policing Global Regions. It compares the approach to transnational police cooperation in four very different jurisdictions, in order to get a sense of what is happening at the global level. The book's particular focus is on the role of law in transnational police cooperation, and whether it hinders or supports closer cooperation. A product of intensive research, Policing Global Regions is empirically rich, and will be richly rewarding to all those interested in transnational police cooperation.
