Ben Bradford is a Departmental Lecturer in Criminology at the
Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford and an Associate
Research Fellow at St Hilda’s College. His research revolves around
public perceptions of, and reactions to, police and other criminal
justice actors, with a particular emphasis on issues of trust,
legitimacy, cooperation and compliance. The role social identity
plays in all these processes is a particular current interest. Ben
has worked on a number of cross-national and comparative research
projects investigating such issues – most recently, an ESRC
funded-project entitled Legal Norms and Crime Control: A
Comparative, Cross-National Analysis. He also has an interest in
aspects of operational policing, particularly ‘public-facing’
police activity such as community patrol, public order policing and
stop and search. Ben has authored or co-authored over 45 journal
articles and book chapters, and with Jonathan Jackson, Katrin Hohl
and Betsy Stanko a book: Just Authority: Trust in the Police
in England and Wales.
Beatrice Jauregui is assistant professor at the Centre for
Criminology & Sociolegal Studies at the University of Toronto. Her
research is concerned with how the lived experiences of persons
working in police, military and other social organizations reflect
and shape dynamics of authority, security and order. Jauregui’s
forthcoming book with the working title Provisional Authority:
Police, Order and Security in India (University of Chicago Press)
is an ethnography of everyday police practices in the world’s
largest democracy. She is also co-editor of Anthropology and Global
Counterinsurgency and author of numerous chapter contributions and
research articles published in American Ethnologist, Asian
Policing, Conflict and Society, Law and Social Inquiry, Journal of
South Asian Studies and Public Culture.
Ian Loader is Professor of Criminology at the University of Oxford
and Professorial Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford,
England. Ian is the author of six books (most recently,
Public Criminology? Routledge, 2010, with R. Sparks) and has
published theoretical and empirical papers on
policing, private security, public sensibilities towards
crime, penal policy and culture, the politics of crime
control, and the public roles of criminology. Ian is currently
working on a project – termed ‘A Better Politics of Crime’ -
concerned with different dimensions of the relationship between
crime control and democratic politics. The first strand of work on
this project was brought together in Public Criminology? The next
key stage will be a monograph with the working title of Crime
Control and Political Ideologies which is in the early stages of
preparation. The project also includes edited volumes on Democratic
Theory and Mass Incarceration (with A. Dzur and R. Sparks, Oxford
University Press, 2016) and Justice and Penal Reform (with B.
Goldson, S. Farrall and A. Dockley, Routledge, 2016). Jonny
Steinberg teaches African Studies at Oxford University and is a
visiting professor at the Wits Institute for Social and Economic
Research (Wiser) in Johannesburg. Among his books are The Number
(2004), a social history of a South African prison, and Thin Blue
(2008) an exploration of the relationship between uniformed police
and civilians in the wake of apartheid. Steinberg was an inaugural
winner of the Windham-Campbell Prizes for Literature awarded by
Yale University and has twice won South Africa′s highest literary
prize, the Sunday Times Alan Paton Award. He is the author of
numerous articles on South African policing published in the
British Journal of Criminology, Theoretical Criminology, Policing
and Society, African Affairs and Public Culture.
This most innovative Handbook addresses one central topic of our
time, that of globalization, and links it to police studies.
Probing the reconfiguration of police approaches in the context of
external and internal security, delinquency,
disorder, terrorism, democracies’ shortcomings or
states’ tight relationship with global forces, such pioneering,
well-researched and wide-ranging research provides stimulating and
important insights on changes taking place in various parts of the
world. This collection of articles are intellectually engaged,
informed and challenging. They encompass various disciplinary
traditions. The diverse theories and high-quality empirical work
here contribute to a better understanding of this transversal
object called policing, incorporating a gamut of conceptions and
legacies with a welcome global orientation. Such a Handbook will
start an interdisciplinary and fruitful conversation, fostered by
scholarly curiosity, healthy questioning and key knowledge.

Policing is a world-wide practice and nearly everywhere contested.
This path-breaking collection of essays by leading experts in the
field identifies the need to develop a field of global
policing studies that is both multi-disciplinary and sensitive to
the interaction between global dynamics and local context. It
will be essential reading for those interested in policing whether
in the global South or the global North.
