Series Editor’s Preface
The International Police Executive Symposium, in collaboration with CRC
Press of the Taylor & Francis Group Publishing, publishes a series titled
Interviews with Global Leaders in Policing, Courts, and Prisons. The objec-
tive is to produce high-quality books aimed at bringing the voice of the
leading criminal justice practitioners to the forefront of scholarship and
research. These books, based on interviews with leaders in criminal justice,
are intended to present the perspectives of high-ranking officials through-
out the world by examining their careers, insights, vision, experiences, chal-
lenges, perceived future of the field, and related issues of interest.
True, the literature is replete with scholarship and research that provides
the academic interpretation of the field, its practices and future. However,
these publications are often in difficult to access journals and are written
from the perspective of the academic, with little interpretation or feasible
action items for those professionals working in the field. A comprehen-
sive literature discussing the on-the-ground, day-to-day understanding of
how police, courts and prison systems work, do not work, and need to be
improved is lacking. This series provides “inside” information about the sys-
tems as told to respected scholars and researchers by seasoned profession-
als. In this series, the dialogue between scholar/researcher and practitioner is
opened as a guided, yet candid, discussion between the two professionals and
provides the opportunity for academics to learn from practitioners, while
practitioners also learn from the expression of their experiences, challenges,
skills, and knowledge.
Throughout the world the criminal justice field is at cross roads and the
time is ripe for change and improvements. Many countries throughout the
world have long-standing policies that have been successful for their culture
and political climate, or are in need of serious revamping due to budgetary
concerns or corruption. Other countries are at a precipice and are beginning
to establish new systems. In all of these situations, the international criminal
justice field stands to benefit from an accessible, engaging and enlightening
series of frank discussions of the leaders’ personal views and experiences in
the field.
Many volumes are written by academics about criminal justice practition-
ers, but this series captures the voice of the practitioners themselves. Based
on interviews with leading national figures in policing, the judiciary, and

corrections, each volume presents their perspectives on their vision, experi-
ences, lessons learned, and future challenges. We are privileged to hear the
inside story that is normally hidden from the public and researchers. And
being global in scope, the series escapes the silos of our national or Western
view of things and exposes the reader to different challenges and approaches
within the criminal justice fields. This broader perspective is a matter of
serious concern when international crime requires increasing co-operation
between jurisdictions, and when international missions require an under-
standing of local context if their prescriptions are to be appropriate.
This 5th volume in the series of Trends in Policing: Interviews with Police
Leaders Across the Globe, has no less than 13 police leaders from 5 continents
interviewed by some of the leading academics in the field. It is clear that new
trends of crime and responses are emerging that were never anticipated when
the series began and that the world in which we live is increasingly intercon-
nected with both criminal and policing networks. This volume enables the
reader to sit alongside these leaders and hear how they respond to these chal-
lenges of our modern world.
It is anticipated that this addition to the series will facilitate discussions
within and between countries’ police systems to add value to their current
operations and future directions. It is hoped that this series will also bridge
the gap of knowledge that exists between scholars and researchers in aca-
demia and practitioners in the field. It is the intention of the series editor to
continue with this series and I invite police scholars, researchers, and practi-
tioners across the world to join in this venture and welcome correspondence
on any issues raised by the interviews or regarding future avenues for engage-
ment in this debate.
