Martin Wright is Visiting Fellow at the International Centre for Policing and Security, University of South Wales, UK.

'Providing an interdisciplinary analysis of maritime crime and policing, this volume succinctly shows that maritime crime and its policing require more comprehensive approaches: the recognition that maritime crimes are inextricably linked to what transpires on land and that policing maritime crimes necessitates deep (international) cooperation between all actors involved. A must read for practitioners and researchers working on the topic.'
