Description
Book SynopsisThis volume presents a unique examination of Western-led police reform efforts by theoretically linking neoliberal globalization, police reform and development. The authors present seven country case studies based on this theoretical and conceptual approach and assess the prospects for successful police reform in a global context.
Trade Review"This very interesting book makes an excellent contribution to the literature. It places policing within a macro theorerical framework of analysis and describes the relevance of development theories to policing [...] I hope it will enlighten students about a neo-colonial web of policing that extends far beyond our shores."
