Abstract

Intelligence-led policing (ILP) strategies are significant elements in modern policing arrangements. For some, policing’s enthusiasm for ILP is emblematic of ‘surveillance society’ and its attendant iniquities. Others argue that even though some of the strategies commonly associated with the term may be unpalatable; the need for ILP simply is a pragmatic reality. It is a necessary evil justified by the increasing dangerousness of the social world. Policymakers’ enthusiasm for alternative models indicates an international transformation of public policing. Such significant change gives rise to a number of questions. Not least, in this new policing paradigm: do normative checks and balances provide sufficient protection for citizens’ rights; to what extent does this reconfiguration threaten the legitimacy of public policing; and, finally, should there be cross-jurisdictional harmonization of ILP-related law and regulation?
