This book presents a selection of articles published over the past 20 years by the Journal of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism. As the journal marks its 20th anniversary, this collection reflects on its contributions to scholarship and practice in policing, intelligence and counter terrorism studies. Over the past 20 years, the journal has provided a critical platform for interdisciplinary research, bringing together academics and practitioners to address some of the most pressing challenges in security studies.

The selected articles demonstrate the journal's dedication to advancing knowledge through empirical research, theoretical innovation and policy-relevant analysis. Together, they reflect the journal as a platform for pioneering research that asks new questions, advocates new solutions for old problems, promotes collaboration, and looks to the future of the field. The journal's focus has been not only to advance academic knowledge but to provide evidence-based solutions for policing, intelligence and counter terrorism practitioners and policymakers. This book highlights the journal's role in shaping debates and cementing a legacy of scholarship and impact.

This book is invaluable for graduate students, academics, and researchers in counter terrorism research, criminology, security studies, and public policy. It intersects with fields such as international relations, public administration, the sociology of crime, risk management, and homeland security studies, offering interdisciplinary perspectives on modern security governance and practice.

The chapters in this book were originally published in Journal of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism and are presented with a new Introduction.
