Perspectives of police science in Europe : final report

Abstract

In 2005, a project group on a European Approach to Police Science was established. The aim of the group was to obtain a common understanding of Police Science and Research. Six police experts from different backgrounds (law, social anthropology, psychology, political science, sociology and criminology) made-up the project group and the final report was completed in April 2007. The publication of this final report is intended to be a starting point for an intensive further discussion of this topic in a much broader dimension and will include internal and external experts from different research disciplines and all European countries. It may support new initiatives for common and comparative projects, programmes, conferences and other activities bringing researchers, research institutes and trainers, training institutions and operational services closer together.
