- Motor vehicles are an indispensible and daily tool of police work. The risk that police officers face when driving has attracted much academic attention, although in Sweden research in this field has been limited. In this paper, it is our intention to identify risks involving police cars, to review the causes of police car accidents in Sweden, and to give a better understanding of injury prevention in the Swedish police context. We note that, during the last few years, police officers' road traffic training has become more structured, covering emergency service driving and pursuits. Nevertheless, we call for more comprehensive driver education in police officer training, along with the establishment of strict routines for the gathering and processing of traffic incident data.

The Growth of Private Security: Trends in the European Union

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper provides an update of the trend towards greater private provision of policing and security services in the European Union (EU). Although data must be treated with caution, recent figures indicate growth from around 600,000 security employees in 1999 to well over a million today. To predict future trends, researchers must undertake international comparisons of the reach of private security and make a start towards drawing a comprehensive picture of the means by which security industries are best monitored and regulated in national jurisdictions. The authors argue that, in addition, issues of equality, professionalism and accountability surrounding privatized policing must become a focus of research attention by practitioners and theorists alike.
