BBC 8/11/2018 News This Service Terminates Here? Politics, Practitioner Perspectives, and the Future of Railway Policing in Scotland Following the devolution of railway policing under the Scotland Act 2016, the Railway Policing (Scotland) Act 2017 set in motion a process that, if completed, will see the British Transport Police’s Scottish Division integrated into Scotland’s relatively new national police force, Police Scotland. The post-legislative journey has, however, proven far more challenging than supporters of integration envisaged. Drawing upon primary and secondary data, this article investigates the integration process to date and shows how a politicized and poorly managed transition programme left employees disillusioned, and fostered a deep strain of mistrust towards the project. With escalating costs, a lack of practitioner buy-in, the potential loss of experienced officers and staff, longer-term risks to the remaining BTP organisation, and no clear evidence of benefits, the article concludes that the Scottish Government should call off full integration and consider an alternative approach towards the devolution of railway policing. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice 8/11/2018 Research article London crime: Police furious after Sajid Javid tells them to ‘step up response’ to knife attacks in capital Comments come after MPs warned government funding cuts could have 'dire consequences for public safety' The Independent 8/11/2018 News What Is the Privatisation of Policing? The politics of austerity have deepened market penetration across the UK policing sector, bringing into effect an array of new policing assemblages which cut across the public–private divide like never before and defy simple categorisation. However, public discourse has not kept pace with this fast-changing reality, all too often reducing these assemblages into an amorphous singularity–‘privatisation’–towards which one is either unambiguously for or against. This article accordingly sets out the analytical tools for developing a more nuanced discourse on the privatisation of policing. It first develops a new typology of privatisation across five categories: function, formulation of private sphere, trigger of privatisation, regulatory influence of the state, and relationship to the ideal-type police monopoly. It then operationalises this typology using four recent examples of privatisation drawn from the UK policing sector. It lastly clarifies how this typology can be used to inform discourse on the privatisation of policing.
