Concept information

Preferred term

cross-border policing  

Definition(s)

  • DefinitionA term that refers to forms of social control involving the deployment of surveillance, backed up by the potential to threaten or use coercion that transgresses formally demarcated geographical boundaries. Modern policing has primarily been understood to concern the internal social order of states, but there is ample historical evidence to suggest that policing power has been deployed internationally, albeit on a relatively small scale, throughout the modern period.
