ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book addresses the role of women in the post-war German police. It considers gendered dimensions of online hate crime and sex trafficking, respectively. Effective working relationships between public police services and private commercial operators in the transnational space are crucial across a myriad of areas. Counter-terrorism, money laundering, financial crime, child sexual exploitation, human trafficking, arms sales, pharmaceutical counterfeiting, cyber-related crimes and individual crimes of rape and murder, among many others, can be better tackled through the increased pluralisation of policing. The roles of female victims, practitioners and policymakers in transnational policing remain woefully neglected from an academic perspective. The issue of whether and to what extent disparities exists between transnational policing measures, police conduct and the delivery of justice remains largely unaddressed and neglected from an evidential perspective.
