Abstract

What does it mean to local police forces that they have become part of a more globalized world? How, for example, does it affect their work, thoughts and motivations? And how did it specifically relate to a group of Danish police detectives—a group of detectives who not only seemed to complain a lot but who even spoke of themselves as “the last real policemen”? These are the questions asked and answered throughout this book, and summed up in this concluding chapter.
