How the police are policed is no longer just a domestic issue. The
involvement of police,and other security forces, in systematic
abuses of human rights in many developing countries, as well as in
so called developed countries, has placed the control of police on
a number of international agendas. More and more countries are
experimenting with different forms of police accountability and
many are turning to civilian oversight bodies in an attempt to
improve the process. This book examines recent experiences with,
and prospects for, civilian oversight. It looks at how this
relatively new method of police accountability has been interpreted
and implemented in a wide range of jurisdictions around the world.
While looking at recent experiences in countries which have used
the civilian oversight process for some years (the United States of
America, United Kingdom, Northern Ireland and Australia), it also
looks at recent attempts to establish civilian oversight bodies in
South Africa, Israel, Central and South America and Palestine. Some
chapters explain how, in several of these countries, oversight of
police conduct is a fundamental governance issues, and relates to
concerns about democratisation and rebuilding civil society. Other
chapters deal with the complex issue of how to evaluate public
complaints mechanisms and the political conditions that enable or
frustrate the introduction and maintenance of effective civilian
oversight.
