title = "Plural Policing and the Abstract Police",
abstract = "Terpstra, Fyfe and Salet (Police Journal: Theory, Practice and Principles, 92(4), 339–359, 2019) introduced the concept of {\textquoteleft}the abstract police{\textquoteright} to explore how policing in many countries has become more distanced and formalised. What is missing from this analysis is the role of the private sector and other policing actors. This chapter will explore the {\textquoteleft}abstract police{\textquoteright} concept, describe some of the main features of pluralisation in policing and postulate what the outcome might be as these two systems interact. This chapter will argue that the role of neoliberalism has been overlooked, which may be an equally significant driver of change. It is through a consideration of pluralised policing that the importance of neoliberalism in the changes that the {\textquoteleft}abstract police{\textquoteright} are intended to identify becomes more apparent.",
