'Providing an interdisciplinary analysis of maritime crime and policing, this volume succinctly shows that maritime crime and its policing require more comprehensive approaches: the recognition that maritime crimes are inextricably linked to what transpires on land and that policing maritime crimes necessitates deep (international) cooperation between all actors involved. A must read for practitioners and researchers working on the topic.'
