As can be expected, the federative organisation of such states as Germany, Switzerland, the USA, India and Russia will be reflected in their police organisation, though the extremely decentralised approach of Switzerland with hardly any central man- agement structures can hardly serve as a paradigm of ‘the’ federal police organisation.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEGITIMACY, TERRORIST ATTACKS AND POLICE Jennifer Catherine Gibbs Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Professor Laura Dugan Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice Scholars often suggest that terrorism – “the threatened or actual use of illegal force and violence to attain a political, economic, religious or social goal through fear, coercion or intimidation” (LaFree & Dugan, 2007, 184) – is a battle of legitimacy. As the most ubiquitous representatives of the government’s coercive force, the police should be most susceptible to terrorism stemming from perceptions of illegitimacy. Police are attractive symbolic and strategic targets, and they were victimized in over 12% of terrorist attacks worldwide since 1970. However, empirical research assessing the influence of legitimacy on terrorist attacks, generally, and scholarly attention to terrorist attacks on police are scant. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the influence of state and police legitimacy and alternative explanations on the proportion of all and only fatal terrorist attacks on police in 82 countries between 1999 and 2008. Data were drawn from several sources, including the Global Terrorism Database and the World Values Survey. Surprisingly, results of Tobit analyses indicate that police legitimacy, measured by the percentage of the population who have at least some confidence in police, is not significantly related to the proportion of all terrorist attacks on police or the proportion of fatal terrorist attacks on police. State legitimacy was measured by four indicators; only the percentage of the population who would never protest reached significance, lending limited support for this hypothesis. Greater societal schism, the presence of a foreign military and greater economic inequality were consistently significant predictors of higher proportions of terrorist attacks on police.

    20 years QualityThrough Equality enp |europea n networ kofpolicewomen enp european network of policewomen 2 | enp.nl 20year sQualit yThroug hEquality Foreword The European Network of Policewomen has been promoting diversity and professionalism in the police for the past twenty years. In every national police force, greater diversity means better quality, so this international network is vital. Exchanging views and approaches helps to foster creativity and prevent tunnel vision. The police are part of a pluralist society. In order to remain engaged with the community they serve, they must invest in diversity. Despite all that has been achieved on gender mainstreaming in the past few decades, the position of women is still an issue that requires attention. Thanks to opportunities for part-time employment, job-sharing and access to child care, the proportion of women in police organisations throughout Europe has increased. Yet the number of women in management positions remains small due to lack of upward mobility. Many women still find it difficult to profile their talents and to recognise and create opportunities for themselves. The ENP is trying to address this problem and is helping women get past this stumbling block. Its efforts include Career Development Seminars for policewomen aspiring to positions in middle management. Participants are taught leadership and networking skills, and given tools for sharing knowledge and making the most of opportunities. This magazine tells you what ENP has been doing over the past twenty years and what it is planning for the future. We hope that you will find it inspirational. Diversity is the future.

  • Criminal Justice and Police Cooperation Between the EU and the UK After Brexit
    Criminal Justice and Police Brexit poses several challenges for future interaction between the EU and the UK in the areas of criminal justice and police cooperation. A new legal framework will be required to sustain the EU’s relations with the UK – an active participant Cooperation between the EU in numerous EU criminal justice and police cooperation instruments – once it leaves the Union. The negotiations on the exit of the UK from the EU must and the UK after Brexit grapple with the crucial questions of how and to what extent can the two parties continue to maintain effective arrangements for fighting cross-border crime, Towards a principled and trust-based partnership while at the same time guaranteeing compliance with the rule of law and fundamental rights. This report is the result of intensive deliberations among members of a Task Force set up jointly by CEPS and the School of Law at Queen Mary University of London, who met regularly throughout the first half of 2018. It examines the feasibility of retaining the current EU–UK framework for cooperation in these critical fields and explores possible alternatives to the status quo. It also delves into the conditions under which the UK could continue to participate in EU instruments and EU agencies engaged in cooperation in criminal matters and to have access to justice and home affairs databases and other information- sharing tools. In their conclusions, the members offer a set of specific policy options for the EU and the UK to consider after Brexit with a view to developing an effective partnership in the areas of criminal justice and security based on trust and shared values.
