About the Journal

Policing: a Journal of Policy and Practice is an in-depth journal aimed at senior police officers, researchers, policy makers and academics offering critical comment and analysis of current policy and practice, comparative international practices, legal and political developments and academic research. Articles are peer-reviewed and cover a wide range of subjects from policing styles, training and education and specialist operations to diversity, accountability and human rights. The Journal draws on examples of good practice from around the world, and examines current academic research, assessing how that research can be applied both strategically and at ground level. The Journal will focus on policing in the United Kingdom but it is expected to have an international reach.

The journal is covered by the following abstracting and indexing services:
