Special Conference Edition Nr 2: Police Science and Police Practice in Europe
Contributions to CEPOL European Police Research and Science Conferences – Bramshill, Münster, Traiskirchen, Badhoevedorp, Oslo and Lyon
In this volume, the reader will find a selected collection of papers that were presented at the Annual European Police Research and Science Conferences, organised by the European Police College (CEPOL) – since July 2016 called the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training – during the period of the years 2006 to 2012.
Contributions collected here originate from the conferences organised in Bramshill 2006 (United Kingdom), Münster 2007 (Germany), Traiskirchen 2008 (Austria), Amsterdam 2009 (The Netherlands), Oslo 2010 (Norway) and Lyon 2012 (France).
This publication continues the ongoing endeavours of the European Police College to foster the documentation of discussions, new ideas and issues raised in regard to the understanding of the police as an institution, and policing as an activity in a European and wider context.
