    Introduction

    The social, economic and technological developments of the late
    modern society have radically changed policing approaches both at
    national and supranational levels. The anti-terrorism discourse has
    placed the security needs of citizens at the pinnacle of government
    priorities, but at the same time traditional law enforcement have
    faced an epistemological crisis through the privatization of
    security. On the one hand, governments, and especially the police,
    are expected to either prevent or respond to security threats, and
    if necessary, to ensure order through rigorous measures. On the
    other hand, the traditional means of policing have increasing
    difficulties to sustain their legitimacy both in the national and in
    the supranational setting.

    Regarding the subject of public security, five political and police
    changes can be identified as a reaction to these new developments:

    1. The changes in the relationship between organizational and
    management rules between the state and other governing bodies,
    2. The system of out-of-court measures,
    3. The emphasis on a victim-centred approach,
    4. The use of new technologies, and
    5. The fusion of different security units, such as intelligence
    services, the military, and the police.

    These changes together with the existing security concerns indicate
    new tensions in policing practices and urge the adaptation of new
    theoretical approaches. Although several conceptual differentiations
    are made between policing practices, hardly any theoretical studies
    discuss the implication of contextual differences between
    traditional welfare states and new democratic governments.
    Therefore, the publication focuses on creating a critical
    interdisciplinary approach through contextualised thematic analyses
    of policing practices after the digital turn. All topics will be
    discussed from a theoretical perspective, and will assess questions
    of how digitalisation, ultra-state policing and privatisation have
    changed traditional policing approaches. The editors will seek
    chapters that address different aspects of policing in
    post-transitional contexts such as the privatisation of policing
    tasks, the changing power-relations between police, the state, and
    society, communication between police institutions and militarised
    policing practices in different countries.
      While challenging existing theoretical approaches in Anglo-Saxon
    policing studies, the book aims to promote critical law enforcement
    studies and the need for new conceptual approaches.

    Objective

    This comprehensive, relevant and timely publication aims to be an
    essential reference source, building on the available literature in
    the field of security studies and law enforcement in public and
    private policing approaches, while simultaneously providing a
    critical conceptual framework for further research opportunities in
    this dynamic field. The text shall serve as an essential basis in
    academic education of policing scholars and other students, for
    international and national security organizations and for academics
    alike.

    Target Audience

    Advanced-level students, academics, researchers, international and
    national organizations, and government officials will find this text
    useful in furthering their research exposure to pertinent topics in
    policing studies, social and cultural practices in police units, and
    surveillance studies.
