ABSTRACT

Since 9/11, a growing body of research has examined the national and transnational dimensions of the policing of terrorism. Yet, questions on how counter-terrorism policing efforts proliferate transnationally remain in need of empirical examination. This chapter highlights the extent to which policies on counter-terrorism policing are adopted across national borders. Specifically, we compare and contrast counter-radicalisation policing in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. Such preemptive efforts, we show, have occurred through different means transnationally as the governments of various nations and their respective security institutions have adapted in similar ways to the perceived changing conditions of the terrorist threat.
