Abstract

This review represents the fourth in an annual special feature in Police Practice and Research: An International Journal. It provides a cross‐sectional analysis of the police literature for the year 2003, highlighting the substantive categories of the literature as well as the distribution of publication medium and methodological typology. In doing so, the authors provide a 'snapshot' of the current research trends in policing and, using the results of Beckman et al.'s (2003) review as a baseline, state both the substantive and methodological research patterns of this specific field of criminology.
