- This 213-page output was the result of a complex, extended and multi-layered process of creative investigation. The output is the first in-depth
monograph-based study of policing at any single sport mega-event worldwide. It required 30 months of ethnographic and interview research with police officers and community members before, during and after the London 2012 Olympics, which could have been broken down into multiple single outputs. It drew on difficult-to-access primary sources –e.g. senior London police officers and Olympic officials, local police during raids on suspected gang and firearm offenders. All authors
contributed to the output’s research and writing.
