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, aiming for a combination of mixed issues (dealing with several
topics, consisting of proactive submissions) and special issues (focused on a specific
theme and hosted by one or more guest editor(s)).
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.
As from its fourth issue, EJPS presents 'Country Updates', providing readers with
the latest news on police, policing and police research in each country or region
that is connected to the journal through our board of regional editors.
Current Issue
This issue of the European Journal of Policing Studies is our first special issue,
focusing on the central theme 'Policing European Metropolises'. The issue's guest
editors are Paul Ponsaers (Belgium), Adam Edwards (UK), Amadeu Recasens i
Brunet (Portugal) and Antoinette Verhage (Belgium). In the five articles of this
special issue, authors analyse the plural policing constellations and complexes in
metropolises of five different countries: Bulgaria, France, Germany, Spain and the
UK. This implies that this special issue takes us for a tour through five important
European metropolises: Berlin, Sofia, London, Paris and Barcelona. We leave it to
