Police Unlimited: Policing, Migrants, and the Values of Bureaucracy
The book centres on the idea that the police are a focal point for conflict in society rather than a solution to people's security issues. Using the Dutch police as a starting point, it argues that the demise of bureaucracy makes it increasingly difficult for police across the globe to exclude politics and populism from their operations.
