In terms of raw numbers, the amount of world urban dwellers have
increased four-fold, skyrocketing from 740 million in 1950 to
almost 3.3 billion in 2007. This ongoing urbanization will continue
to create major security challenges in most countries. Based on
contributions from academics and practitioners from countries as
diverse as Nigeria, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, and the US, Urbanization,
Policing, and Security: Global Perspectives highlights the crime
and disorder problems associated with urbanization and demonstrates
police and private security responses to those problems. Examines
responses to urban problems The book draws on the practical
experiences of police officials and the academic insights of
researchers from around the world to detail the consequences of
urbanization - crime, terrorism, disorder, drugs, traffic crashes -
as well as modern responses to those problems. Covering studies on
major cities in more than 18 countries, this text explores topics
such as the role of urbanization in security and global concerns
including transnational crime, racial profiling, and information
sharing. The book also examines responses to urban problems
associated with police and security, including human rights
activism and police reform. The tools to devise sophisticated
solutions The problems confronting policing in these times are
quite daunting, providing plenty of challenges for police leaders
and requiring them to devise increasingly sophisticated solutions.
With more than 100 photos and illustrations, the book tackles
issues from a different angle. It examines the resources required
to solve problems and those necessary to build a knowledge base of
policing and the professionalism for police forces.
