Opis

The policing system in Britain today has emerged from an historical overlap of two policing models: a civil (English) and a semi-military (colonial) tradition. Whereas academic research has historically tended to focus on the policing of mainland Britain, these essays concentrate on recent scholarly work on British colonial policing. The research shows how the meshing of the two policing systems currently contributes to the globalisation of British policing today.
