Aims
and scope
Police Practice and Research (PPR) is associated with the International
Police Executive Symposium (IPES) www.ipes.info. PPR is a peer-reviewed,
international journal that presents current and innovative academic
police research as well as operational and administrative police
practices from around the world. Manuscripts are sought from
practitioners, researchers and others interested in developments in
policing, analysis of public order, and the state of safety as it
affects the qua1ity of life everywhere. The journal seeks to bridge the
gap in knowledge that exists regarding who the police are, what they do,
and how they maintain order, administer laws, and serve their
communities in the world. Attention will also be focused on specific
organizational information about the police in different countries and
regions of the universe. PPR publishes special issues on various topics
of interest. Proposals for such issues are always welcome. The best
papers presented at the Annual Meetings of IPES are also published in a
special issue A specific goal of the editors is to improve cooperation
between those who are active in the field and those who are involved in
academic research, as such a relationship is essential for innovative
police work. To this end, the editors encourage the submission of
manuscripts co-authored by police practitioners and researchers that
will highlight a particular subject from both points of view.
