Perceptions of public safety and national sovereignty are shifting in the face of domestic, regional, and global insecurity, and with the emergence of transnational policing practices responding to drug trafficking and organised crime. The book examines how security threats are prioritised and the strategies that are put in place to respond to them, based on a detailed empirical case study of police and security sector organisations in the Caribbean. Transnational policing, one of the most significant recent developments in the security field, has brought about a number of changes in the organisation of criminal law enforcement in the Caribbean and other parts of the world. Drawing on interviews with chief police officers, customs, coastguard, immigration, security, military, and government officials, this book examines these changes, providing a unique insight into the work of overseas liaison officers from the UK and the USA, and their collaboration with local police and security agencies. This book assesses the extent to which a restructured transnational security infrastructure has enhanced the safety and wellbeing of the Caribbean islands, and other countries on the shores of the north Atlantic, and asks how we can ensure that policing beyond boundaries is accountable and good enough to make the world a safer place.

This book explores the emergence of law enforcement and security practices that extend beyond the boundaries of the nation state. Perceptions of public safety and national sovereignty are shifting in the face of domestic, regional, and global insecurity, and with the emergence of transnational policing practices responding to drug trafficking and organised crime. The book examines how security threats are prioritised and the strategies that are put in place to respond to them, based on a detailed empirical case study of police and security sector organisations in the Caribbean. Transnational policing, one of the most significant recent developments in the security field, has brought about a number of changes in the organisation of criminal law enforcement in the Caribbean and other parts of the world. Drawing on interviews with chief police officers, customs, coastguard, immigration, security, military, and government officials, this book examines these changes, providing a unique insight into the work of overseas liaison officers from the UK and the USA, and their collaboration with local police and security agencies. This book assesses the extent to which a restructured transnational security infrastructure has enhanced the safety and wellbeing of the Caribbean islands, and other countries on the shores of the north Atlantic, and asks how we can ensure that policing beyond boundaries is accountable and good enough to make the world a safer place. |
