The Role of Football Police in England
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Football policing in England is an important part of both the football club and local community. It seeks to minimise football-related crime and disorder, improve football ground safety, detect and bring football crime offenders to account, and maintain significant discretion to make arrests and enforce football banning orders. This academic article focuses specially on the football police role in football related offences and football banning orders. Additionally, it also explains and evaluates that effective cooperation between football policing stakeholders in England (i.e., central, regional, and local policing units) can help prevent football related crimes and terrorism-related threats in England and Thailand.
