本文涉及当代有关警务和安全商品化的讨论。它表明，有关这些趋势的现有文献主要针对商业安全提供商，未能解决公共警务模式在跨国警务界内部和通过跨国警务界进行商品化和营销的过程。根据北爱尔兰警察变革过程的证据，我们认为北爱尔兰警务模式（NIPM）是在警务独立委员会（ICP）改革后出现的。这在全球舞台上越来越品牌化和推广。此外，我们认为 NIPM 不是单一的，而是分段的，并且针对国内和跨国的许多不同的“消费者”。为了反映这些多样化的市场，NIPM 借鉴了两个看似不协调的组成要素：ICP 改革中体现的警务转型的“最佳实践”教训；以及从过去几十年的冲突中汲取的反恐专业知识的遗产。讨论最后询问了 NIPM 的哪些组成部分处于优势。
This paper engages with contemporary discussions in relation to the commodification of policing and security. It suggests that the existing literature regarding these trends has been geared primarily towards commercial security providers and has failed to address the processes by which public policing models are commodified and marketed both within, and through, the transnational policing community. Drawing upon evidence from the police change process in Northern Ireland, we argue that a Northern Irish Policing Model (NIPM) has emerged in the aftermath of the Independent Commission on Policing (ICP) reforms. This is increasingly branded and promoted on the global stage. Furthermore, we suggest that the NIPM is not monolithic, but segmented, and targeted towards a number of different ‘consumers’ both domestically and transnationally. Reflecting these diverse markets, the NIPM draws upon two seemingly incongruous constituent elements: the ‘best practice’ lessons of policing transition, as embodied in the ICP reforms; and, the legacy of counter-terrorism expertise drawn from the preceding decades of conflict. The discussion concludes by querying as to which of these components of the NIPM is in the ascendancy.
