| Summary: | Abstract
This paper analyses the prehistory and short existence of the
Danish bachelor’s degree programme in policing. I argue that both
the development and the implementation of the programme were characterised
by a systematic decoupling of the educational reform from the strategic
objectives that it was supposed to accomplish. This explains the
programme’s early demise in the politically tense situation that
arose in the fall of 2015. However, since the study programme was
originally intended as the concluding element in the 2007 police reform,
I also argue that the recent restructuring of police training is
part of a more general reorientation of Danish policing away from
the objectives of the 2007 reform., |
