2013 CEPOL European Police Research & Science Conference

Policing civil societies in times of economic constraints

11 – 13 September 2013

Venue: Deutsche Hochschule der Polizei, Muenster (Germany)

The CEPOL conference was themed this year around the actual and potential impact of the recent economic turmoil that has hit many European countries. The economic set-back has already deep and far reaching consequences for the living standards and cohesion of European societies and by means of resulting severe financial constraints for the public purse there is also a significant impact on affected police forces. Apart from issues around the expected performance police forces, questions about the use of powers in view of police accountability and legitimacy arise as indicators for good democratic governance in the proclaimed European area of justice, freedom and security. Additional challenges for the police services have come up with the new media and their wide range of implications on everyday policing, criminality and major events.

Academic researchers, police educators and professionals were invited to shed some analytic light on the current situation, the new conditions and its potential development from a theoretical as well as a practical and educational point of view.

As always, CEPOL wants to foster the exchange between scientific studies and practical experience, and by doing that, informing public opinion.

Video recordings and presentation slides of selected conference contributions are available on this page.

Exclusive content is also available for registered e-Net users.

Conference proceedings with full papers will be published in a special issue of the European Police Science and Research Bulletin.
