This issue of the European Journal of Policing Studies is a special issue, focusing on Plural Policing. The editors, Jan Terpstra and Elke Devroe, have succeeded in bringing five papers together, all centred around the concept of plural policing, though focusing on different European countries. This international comparative issue combines contributions on England & Wales, Germany, France, Belgium, and presents the results of an international comparative study on plural policing in its fifth paper.
