      title = {Plural policing, security and the COVID crisis :  comparative European perspectives /},
      abstract = {This book critically examines how countries across Europe  have dealt with the COVID crisis from a policing and  security perspective. Across the chapters, contributors  from different countries examine the data, press coverage,  and provide professional observations on how policing, law  enforcement, police powers and community relations were  managed. They focus on how security and governmental actors  often failed to align with the formal scripts that were  specifically designed for crisis-management, resulting in  the wavering application of professional discretion and  coercive powers. Their different approaches were evident:  in some regions police were less dominantly visible  compared to other regions, where the police used a top-down  visible and repressive stance vis-a-vis public alignment  with COVID rules, including the imposition of lockdown and  curfews. Some contributors draw on data from the COROPOL  (Corona Policing) Monitor which collated data on crime,  plural policing and public order in Europe and around the  world during the early phases of the COVID crisis. Overall,  this book seeks to provide comparative critical insights  and commentary as well as a practical and operational  understanding of security governance during the COVID-19  crisis and the lessons learned to improve future  preparedness.
