Aims and Scope
The European Journal of Policing Studies is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes
articles addressing the topic of policing and police studies in the broad sense. EJPS
aims to provide insights into contemporary policing debates. It focuses on issues
that are of interest to the police and other policing actors, and that shape (the future
of) policing.
It offers contributions in a broad domain, including contemporary academic
(empirical) research on policing (by the police as well as other actors), phenomena
that may be of interest to policing actors, education, policing strategies and styles,
accountability and democratic rights, legal and political developments and policing
policy and practice.
With its primary aim of disclosing European research into, views on and analyses
of policing to the international community, EJPS wants to reach both policing
researchers and practitioners. In its ambition to help overcome the language barrier,
EJPS aims to disclose research from countries which often remain out of sight in
publications and also applauds international comparative research.
The Journal concentrates on contributions from European countries, but contribu-
tions from other countries are also welcomed, if they provide added value for the
European context.
EJPS aspires to have an international reach and the editors aim for inclusion in
the Thomson Reuters database (Web of Science). It is published four times a year.
EJPS offers quick but thorough review procedures through the expert guidance of
an international editorial board and invites authors to submit their articles through
the online web application.
Current Issue
This first issue is a mixed issue, composed of four papers that concentrate on
policing issues from different perspectives. Monica den Boer illustrates in the first
article how the borders of Europe are policed and how this has evolved during the
last decades. In the second contribution, Joachim Kersten and Ansgar Burchard
discuss the state of affairs with regard to police science in Germany. Thirdly, in
her article, Anjuli Van Damme reports on a test of the procedural justice theory in
Belgium, focusing on citizen's compliance and cooperation with the police. Antonio
Vera and Katharina Koelling close this issue as they study the effects of the aging
police workforce by relating this to the police organizational culture and look for
ways to cope with this demographic transition.
