Routledge International Handbook of Policing Crises and Emergencies

About this book

This handbook explores those occasions when the police are faced with a public, national, or international crisis and are expected to continue to serve. It provides a unique, scholarly, and international overview on policing crises and emergencies, addressing the different contexts and challenges of working in extraordinary circumstances, dealing with unfamiliarity, and working with and alongside other agencies, as well as the significant political and public requirement to return as quickly as possible to normality. Sections include coverage of:

• Policing disasters

• Policing public health emergencies

• Policing political protest

• Policing terror and conflict

• Policing mass violence

• Policing extreme crises and emergencies

Each section is filled with a variety of international case studies examining best practice in the policing context, together with a scene-setting chapter tying together key theoretical and conceptual concepts. It is essential reading for all engaged with professional policing, law enforcement, and public order.
