Cross-national research: a new frontier for police studies
Cross-national research: a new frontier for police studies
As a high profile (and often armed) bureaucracy that operates within a state under more or less strict regulation, it is unlikely that police can be understood in isolation. Social and political macro-determinants of police policies have been subject to limited enquiry, although there is reason to believe that they could be critically significant to broader understandings of police practice. An understanding of the politics of police within a societal context is required to grasp their function and their relation to civil society. Comparing Police Organizations expands research along these lines and goes beyond the few countries where the study of policing invariably takes place.

Abstract
As a high profile (and often armed) bureaucracy that operates within a state under more or less strict regulation, it is unlikely that police can be understood in isolation. Social and political macro-determinants of police policies have been subject to limited enquiry, although there is reason to believe that they could be critically significant to broader understandings of police practice. An understanding of the politics of police within a societal context is required to grasp their function and their relation to civil society. Comparing Police Organizations expands research along these lines and goes beyond the few countries where the study of policing invariably takes place.
