Abstract

Globalization transforms policing into an increasingly transnational practice. Viewed from this perspective, state police are seen to be expanding beyond territorial borders to reach out into an increasingly fluid and interconnected world. In this chapter I consider what happens when the world, in effect, comes to the police. I discuss the implications for police-community relations of police involvement in border control, when communities consist of citizens, non-citizens and those whose immigration status is ambiguous or insecure. The discussion incorporates material from the Migration Policing Study which examined multi-agency migration policing networks in the Australian state of New South Wales.

Keywords: Policing, migration policing, policing ethnic minorities
