Prof Kieran McEvoy and Dr Kevin Hearty explore the relationship between policing and transitional justice. Drawing on the Northern Ireland case study and international examples, they analyse the compromises, challenges and complexities of policing in transition.

To learn more about Dr Hearty’s research into policing, please see his 2017 Critical Criminology article on ‘Discourses of political policing in post-Patten Northern Ireland’ and his 2016 Irish Political Studies article on ‘How the ‘suspect community’ became ‘critical engagers.’’

Dr Hearty discusses a recent article by Brianne McGonigle Leyh. You can access it here.
