Description

This book explores policing, regulation, private security and intelligence to understand current transformations in policing.

Policing today can no longer be understood only in terms of an organization (the police), but more and more in terms of multi-agency processes.

This could be functional for national security interests, safety and security but detrimental to accountability and the democratic process.

Bob Hoogenboom discusses notions of 'blurring of boundaries', 'unbounding' and 'hybridity' and pays homage to, and critiques, leading thinkers in the field.

Hoogenboom argues that police studies and criminology are too fragmented and focused on the criminal justice system and not oriented enough towards 'undertows' in policing and security. Drawing from a wealth of academic sources but also literature and popular culture this book unpicks what these new forms of security mean for governance.
