“Monica den Boer, Eric Bervoets and Linda Hak have produced an outstanding book on the dynamics of plural policing, security and the COVID Crisis. By linking empirical insights about our understanding of policing during the COVID pandemic with empirical investigations in highly interesting comparative European case studies, the book makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of both the theoretical and empirical dynamics of the phenomenon. Indeed, this is an excellent book which provides a very interesting and compelling analysis of an important and largely under-researched topic. It is highly recommended for anyone interested in Policing Studies, Political Science, Sociology and Criminology, or International Security more generally.” (Christian Kaunert, Professor of International Security, Dublin City University, Ireland and Professor of Policing and Security & Director of the International Centre for Policing and Security, University of South Wales, UK)
“Anyone curious about how plural policing unfolds in times of crisis should read this book. Experts empirically describe the dynamics during the fight against COVID-19 in 9 countries and show how existing trends and patterns in plural policing are confirmed or not, making it an attractive read. It reveals an intriguing patchwork and generates insights for academics and practitioners about the (non-)active role of a diversity of actors in the governance of security during crises. This collection contains several insights and lessons learnt for scholars as well as practitioners of policing.” (Marleen Easton, Professor and head of the research group 'Governing and Policing Security' (GaPS) at the Department of Public Governance and Management at Ghent University, Belgium)
“They say that in crisis management, you should be quick with the facts but slow with the blame. That is precisely what this must-read book does. A number of highly credible observers give a rare insight into how Europe acted upon its worst challenge in our time. By putting light on how a number of different states across Europe acted in these dire times, the authors have been able to catch not only essential learning points for the future - but also add a new understanding of what policing and harm reduction really is. It’s not good vs evil. It´s more about how to prevent something bad from getting worse.” (Dr Ivar Fahsing is a detective chief superintendent and associate professor at the Norwegian Police University College)
