Exporting the UK Policing Brand 1989 - 2021 is an in-depth study of the history and development of the UK policing brand. In this book, Sinclair charts the long and vivid international history and enduring mythology surrounding the UK policing brand, which has continued to shape and colour its evolution since the end of the cold war.

Globalising British Policing demonstrates how the policing system in place in Britain today has emerged from an historical overlap of two broad policing models: a civil (English) and a semi-military (colonial) tradition. Until relatively recently colonial policing received considerably less scholarly attention than the policing of mainland Britain. This volume comprises four sections: section I considers works on British colonial policing up until the Second World War; section II moves to post-war colonial policing through the era of decolonisation; section III looks more closely at the policing of Northern Ireland, and, section IV shows how the meshing of these policing systems are currently contributing to the globalisation of British policing today.
