Is it possible to create democratic forms of policing in
transitional and developing societies? This volume argues that
policing models and practices promoted by the west are often
inadequate for adoption by countries making democratic transitions
because they do not adequately address issues such as human rights,
equity, co-production, accountability, openness and organizational
change. Therefore police reform is often limited to a "one size
fits all" approach. The book expands the dialogue so that
discussions of democratic policing around the world are more
realistic, comprehensive and sensitive to the local context.
Detailed case studies on Iraq, South Africa, Northern Ireland and
Kazakhstan provide a realistic assessment of the current state of
policing. The editors use the studies to suggest how to promote
democratic policing and other important goals of democratic reform
around the world. The volume will assist academics, policy makers,
NGOs and others in tailoring a local democratic policing strategy
within a broader framework to enhance socioeconomic development and
citizen capacity, build social capital, reduce various forms of
conflict and support human rights.
