The East Asia Policing Studies Forum (EAPSF) is dedicated to fostering dialogue and facilitating research on police and policing. Located in Hong Kong, we take local and regional policing as a leading focus. At the same time, we are dedicated to understanding policing in wider geographic, historical and theoretical contexts. Our activities center around a monthly seminar, in which we discuss research in progress by our regular members, as well as other issues currently propelling the dynamic interdisciplinary study of policing. We also hold occasional workshops and conferences featuring leading scholars of police and policing studies from around the world. Membership is open to scholars and practitioners, for more information please contact us through the email button at the bottom of this page. EAPSF is hosted by the University of Hong Kong, through its Center for Criminology.
東亞治安與警政研究論壇（EAPSF）是為了促進研究對話和合作而成立。位於香港，我們將本地治安與警政作為主要研究焦點。同時，我們也致力於探討治安與警政的區域性，歷史性，與國際比較的內容。我們平常每月開一場研討會，討論會員所從事的研究與相關題目。也不定期會邀請知名學者來演講或辦工作室。會員資格是開放給學者和實踐者。若想要更多信息，請與我們聯絡。EAPSF附屬香港大學犯罪學研究中心。
