Keeping the Peace Volume IV
Keeping the Peace Volume IV, like its predecessors, shows how fortunate we are — in Queensland as in other Australian states — to have a non-political, non-military system of law enforcement, with highly trained officers ready to serve the community and impartially enforce the laws made by our representatives in parliament. With this in mind, it’s very easy to lose sight of the fact that every day police officers put their own lives on the line to ensure public safety. Keeping the Peace is really their story, in their own words. Laurie Pointing, the editor and compiler of this volume, started his working life as a station hand on a western cattle property before joining the Queensland Police Service in December, 1958 and rising to the rank of Assistant Commissioner. Following a police career spanning almost 35 years, and with several successful books already to his credit, Laurie has now used his wealth of experience to wield an editorial pen and bring together this collection of personal stories from Queensland Police Officers.

Monica den Boer (1) Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the way in which the European Union has gradually but steadily built a security architecture based on the control of mobility and borders. Different logics of policing are interwoven in several projects, which are strongly interdependent with technological innovation. Furthermore, the European policing of mobility is primarily performed by mounting surveillance – both inside and beyond European borders – by means of which all forms of movement (transactions, travelling, etc.) are su...
