What Is and Is Not Known About Volunteer Policing Across Europe? Comparative Perspectives on Volunteer Police Roles and Practice
This paper explores the wide diversity of practices of volunteer policing across Europe. The study explores where models of volunteer policing exist and the similarities and divergences of volunteer policing approaches, reflecting that most practice has emerged independently across different countries. Some countries build on historic volunteering traditions, while other countries have more recently emerged models of volunteer policing. The overa…
Special beginnings
The paper reports on a study of the early career experiences of voluntary Special Constables. The research identified the importance of practising, becoming and belonging for volunteers during initial training. Significant challenges in their early front-line practice were experienced alongside problems of processes, management, and organisation, and cultural challenges in terms of ‘fitting in’ and building relationships. The paper argues for the…

Drawing on findings from the first national survey of police volunteers in England and Wales, undertaken in the early 2016 with just over 1000 PSV responses, …

However, fewer studies have explored the longer-term implications of wartime experiences for older men and women's everyday lives. This article explores the impact of Second World War experiences on older men and women living in the United Kingdom (UK), to provide an insight into how such experi…
