Aims and Objectives • To facilitate the networking of scholars and practitioners interested in the study of police organisations and policing • To open up and develop lines of communication and cooperation between nationally-based research centres, institutes and academies with policing-related interests and activities • To act as a hub through which scholars, practitioners and the policy community can collaborate productively together (e.g. through the development of comparative research programmes, knowledge transfer events, visiting scholarships/fellowships, or joint teaching and continuing professional development ventures)
Core activities to date • Themed panel sessions at the annual meeting • Joint publications stemming from sessions – books and special issues of journals • European Journal of Police Studies • Pre-conferences (Ghent, Vilnius and – we hope – Prague) involving scholars and local practitioners • All contribute to a sustained focus on policing within an international academic conference & enhances its profile
