Samenvatting

The Netherlands has had a long tradition in regard to policing studies research, resulting in a significant knowledge buildup over the years. Though overshadowed by research concentrating on the Anglo-Saxon world, there are many widely accessible publications discussing policing in the Netherlands. But who is currently producing this knowledge, and what are the themes that are being talked about? We surveyed policing studies researchers in the Netherlands to clarify the current status of the field. This survey is a continuation of recent work by Piet van Reenen on policing studies publications. In this paper, we concentrate on the researchers themselves and their ideas about the themes currently discussed in policing studies research, in order not only to find out the width of the field, but also the depths in which certain themes are explored or perhaps even underexplored.
