What happens when the language of human rights becomes central to modern policing?

On 25 May 2026, Markus Buderath will present a timely seminar:
Human rights-based policing in Scotland: between organisational myth, practical reality, and ‘brand’ value

The session explores how Police Scotland has increasingly positioned itself as a human rights-based organisation, and whether that identity reflects operational reality, institutional strategy, or both.

Drawing on a neo-institutionalist approach, Markus will examine how policing reform, Scottish political identity, and international ambitions have shaped this agenda, while highlighting the tensions between organisational narrative and day-to-day practice.

An important discussion for anyone interested in policing, justice, governance, and human rights.
