The paper defines the notion of the postmodern by reference to notions of deep historical fissure, as found in the work of Arnold Toynbee and C. Wright Mills. It develops this notion by reference to current and ongoing processes of transnationalization, with specific reference to police organization. Four postul ates of poshnodern police are identified and described in detail. These are the marketization of insecurity and social control and the transnationalization of clandestine markets and policing. These postulates are nsed to illuminate broad changes to the transnational state system, in which policing is embedded. The paper concludes in an open-ended manner with reference to the role of academic criminology in these pro cesses which are seemingly beyond dirigiste rationalism
