Working Group 4

Contextualising Police Stops in Europe

Description

WG4 will be concerned to understand the legal, social and political context in which Police Stops have emerged in different European states. WG4 will undertake an extensive literature review to identify the different legal bases for Police Stops, the rationale for their use and the contexts in which those powers are both strengthened and constrained. WG4 will host a key symposium in Year Two to attract key speakers offering an international and comparative perspective on Police Stops, drawing upon a wide
range of academic disciplines, including political science, history, social geography, social policy and philosophy as well as psychology, sociology, public administration, law and criminology. This symposium will be published as an edited collection and will inform the analytical work of WGS 1, 2 and 3.
