Police research is a matter of concern not only for academia and the police, but also for politics, policymakers, the public and society in general. Research on Swedish police and policing has been conducted for more than six decades, and several reviews of Swedish police research have been performed in the past. However, none have focussed exclusively on empirical research, and the scope and character of empirical studies has long been unclear. To contribute to fill this knowledge gap, and to facilitate an informed discussion on the current state of empirical evidence, gaps and future research agendas, we have conducted a scoping review of published research and grey literature reporting original results of empirical studies on Swedish police. Departing from the overarching research question What is the scope and character of empirical studies on Swedish police published between 2010 and 2024, and what changes can be discerned over time? we have examined empirical studies on Swedish police with a special focus on extent, topics of interest, broader research themes, methods, research actors and types of publications. The literature was located by systematic searches in bibliographic databases, targeted hand searches and requests to academic research environments. Utilising the software Covidence, selection of sources was conducted in two steps and a data extraction template was used to chart and extract the data. By paying close attention to specific research topics in the included studies, ten main themes emerged: Police organisation and profession; Collaboration; The police and the public; Maintenance of law and order; Criminal offences; Critical incidents and crisis management; Victims and witnesses; Social categories and the police; Environment and place; and Knowledge development. In this presentation we will give an overview of the scoping review results, and open for discussion on its potential application.
