Global Perspectives in Policing and Law Enforcement provides an
exposition of policing and law enforcement practices, challenges,
and opportunities in twenty different countries that were carefully
selected to represent diverse geographic regions of the world. Each
chapter presents policing from a different cultural background with
diverse historical law enforcement experiences, varied social and
demographic characteristics, and wide-ranging approaches to
political leadership. By examining critical data and highlighting
cracks within law enforcement across multiple countries, the
contributors to this volume have created a framework of policing as
it transitions into a modern outfit. Divided into parts, the book
focuses on a large sample of countries from Africa, Europe, Asia,
and Latin and Central America, North America and the Caribbean, as
well as Australia and New Zealand. Such a broad coverage makes this
book a critical reference point for those interested in criminal
justice, criminology, political science, anthropology, and many
others.

Africa as a continent, which holds strong to its patriarchal
cultural principles and practices, is known for its blatant display
of violent abuse of women, including state-sanctioned violence, and
its lax approach to national legislative policies and international
treaties against violence against women. Using data from Africa,
the Americas, Australia, and Europe, this edited collection
showcases a variety of experiences and perspectives in the
international comparative study of violence against women of
African ancestry. This approach provides the context for examining
the problem of violence against women, including its policy and
practice responses (if any), as it impacts women of African origin
in different parts of the world. This book is of value to those
interested in African studies, criminology, gender studies,
sociology, and many more.
