Policing Global Regions

Saskia Hufnagel is a senior lecturer in Criminal Law and co-director of the Criminal Justice Centre at Queen Mary University of London.

The literature on international police cooperation has been growing exponentially over the last few decades but there is nothing quite like Saskia Hufnagel’s new book, Policing Global Regions. It compares the approach to transnational police cooperation in four very different jurisdictions, in order to get a sense of what is happening at the global level. The book’s particular focus is on the role of law in transnational police cooperation, and whether it hinders or supports closer cooperation. A product of intensive research, Policing Global Regions is empirically rich, and will be richly rewarding to all those interested in transnational police cooperation.Neil Boister, Professor of Law and Head of School, University of Canterbury.
