This article investigates how transnational policing is structured by the embeddedness of participating police units in national fields of criminal justice. Empirically, the analysis zooms in on the embeddedness and positionality of three different Danish police units that frequently engage in transnational cooperation. Positioned differently in the national field of criminal justice, these units have distinct capacities with regard to mobilizing and deploying material and symbolic resources and, consequently, have distinct modes of engagement with transnational policing. Conceptually expanding this insight to capture the structure of transnational policing more generally, this article develops the concept of “stacked fields” to capture how transnational cooperation and power relations are formatted by the national, institutional, and positional embeddedness of participating police units and agents.

本文研究了参与警察单位在国家刑事司法领域的嵌入性如何构建跨国警务。从经验上讲，该分析聚焦于经常从事跨国合作的三个不同丹麦警察部队的嵌入性和定位性。这些单位在国家刑事司法领域的定位不同，在动员和部署物质和象征性资源方面具有不同的能力，因此具有不同的跨国警务参与模式。从概念上扩展这一见解以更广泛地捕捉跨国警务的结构，本文发展了“堆叠领域”的概念，以捕捉跨国合作和权力关系如何由国家、制度、
