Policing and Human Rights analyses the implementation of human
rights standards, tracing them from the nodal points of their
production in Geneva, through the board rooms of national police
management and training facilities, to the streets of downtown
Johannesburg. This book deals with how the unprecedented influence
of human rights, combined with the inability by police officers to
'live up' to international standards, has created a range of
policing and human rights vernaculars - hybrid discourses that have
appropriated, transmogrified and undercut human rights. Understood
as an attempt by police officers, as much as by the police as a
whole, to recover a position from which to act and to judge, these
vernaculars reveal the compromised ways in which human rights are -
and are not - implemented. Tracing how, in South Africa, human
rights have given rise to new forms of popular justice, informal
'private' policing and provisional security arrangements, Policing
and Human Rights delivers an important analysis of how the
dissemination and implementation of human rights intersects with
the post-colonial and post-transformation circumstances that
characterise many countries in the South.
