The Politicization of Police Stops in Europe
Public Issues and Police Reform
About this book
This book examinesthe timely issue of police stops as a public and political issue, focussing on theEuropean states. Contrary to much other work it focuses on wider Europe and the social and political context in which the police practice of stopping citizens emerges, develops and can be curtailed. More specifically, the volume analyses public controversies about police stops, i.e. events in which conflicts emerge about how the performance of police stops is explained and justified.This book stems from an EU COST Action research network on Police Stops whichengages academics and practitioners from 29 countries.It appeals to those inlaw, criminology and policing studies with some potential for wider interest in cultural studies/history and public policy/politics, as well as topractitioners in police scrutiny, oversight and other professional bodies and in training organisations.
