The South African Police Force is among the world's most
controversial police forces, plagued by allegations of misconduct
and archaic methods. John Brewer places these problems in their
historical context through this detailed study of the origins and
development of policing in South Africa. Brewer sees a major
problem in the lack of modernization: long after similar forces
around the world had been modernized, South African Police
continued to discharge a colonial role, using policing methods and
styles suitable for the nineteenth century. Brewer eloquently links
this lack of modernization and development to the South African
state's need for a police force to uphold and implement its
policies of internal colonialism. He argues further that this is
the source of the close relationship between the police and state
in South Africa. Now that the South African government has been
transformed, the police force must adapt. Brewer concludes with a
discussion of reform and warns that it will be severely constrained
if it fails to transcend its colonial origins.
