Smith, an independent scholar and former police officer from Scotland, discusses entrepreneurship in policing and criminal contexts, providing an explanation of entrepreneurship in policing and why an understanding of it is important in encouraging change, as well as how aspects of entrepreneurship theory can be applied to policing as transformational practices. He describes policing culture and its anti-entrepreneurial nature, including sociocultural and organizational barriers to entrepreneurial policing, issues that hinder its implementation, other forms and structures of entrepreneurship of interest to policing, and the links between entrepreneurship and innovation in policing; the relationship between entrepreneurship and leadership, including police leadership; criminal entrepreneurship and how this can be used to understand crime and criminality; academic tools and techniques that can be used implement entrepreneurial policing in everyday practice; implementing entrepreneurial policing in complex scenarios, such as organized crime in the UK, American police gangs, and reducing shoplifting; and developing momentum in entrepreneurial policing, including the need to change police culture, how the police can learn to lead more entrepreneurially, overcoming obstacles in implementation, the influence of politics and COVID-19, and reversing the culture of risk aversion, anti-entrepreneurialism, and anti-intellectualism.
