handle is hein.journals/eupnjlo2013 and id is 1 raw text is: Introduction Aims and Scope The European Journal of Policing Studies is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles addressing the topic of policing and police studies in the broad sense. EJPS aims to provide insights into contemporary policing debates. It focuses on issues that are of interest to the police and other policing actors, and that shape (the future of) policing. It offers contributions in a broad domain, including contemporary academic (empirical) research on policing (by the police as well as other actors), phenomena that may be of interest to policing actors, education, policing strategies and styles, accountability and democratic rights, legal and political developments and policing policy and practice. With its primary aim of disclosing European research into, views on and analyses of policing to the international community, EJPS wants to reach both policing researchers and practitioners. In its ambition to help overcome the language barrier, EJPS aims to disclose research from countries which often remain out of sight in publications and also applauds international comparative research. The Journal concentrates on contributions from European countries, but contribu- tions from other countries are also welcomed, if they provide added value for the European context. EJPS aspires to have an international reach and the editors aim for inclusion in the Thomson Reuters database (Web of Science). It is published four times a year. EJPS offers quick but thorough review procedures through the expert guidance of an international editorial board and invites authors to submit their articles through the online web application. Current Issue This first issue is a mixed issue, composed of four papers that concentrate on policing issues from different perspectives. Monica den Boer illustrates in the first article how the borders of Europe are policed and how this has evolved during the last decades. In the second contribution, Joachim Kersten and Ansgar Burchard discuss the state of affairs with regard to police science in Germany. Thirdly, in her article, Anjuli Van Damme reports on a test of the procedural justice theory in Belgium, focusing on citizen's compliance and cooperation with the police. Antonio Vera and Katharina Koelling close this issue as they study the effects of the aging police workforce by relating this to the police organizational culture and look for ways to cope with this demographic transition.
