'Good policy and good practice requires good empirically grounded theory. Policing and Society recognizes this and has done much to facilitate the establishment a scholarly literature dedicated to promoting a nexus of theory, policy and practice on security governance. Its editors and reviewers have consistently ensured that its papers are of the highest quality. Policing and Society has established itself as the place to turn for theoretically focused commentary on the governance of security that is innovative and sound.'
- Clifford Shearing, Australian National University, Australia
 
'Policing and Society has become the premier scholarly journal on the police in the English-speaking world. It is unique in being comparative, meaning that it has sought to attract articles that deal with police matters from around the world. The best people in the large field of policing think of publishing in Policing and Society as their first option as opposed to generalist criminal justice journals.'
