This insightful book examines the allegations against the
professionalism, transparency, and integrity of law enforcement
toward minority groups, from a global perspective. It addresses the
challenges inherent in maintaining strong ties with members of the
community, and draws attention to obstacles in ensuring public
confidence and trust in rule of law institutions. Most importantly,
the book provides insight into mechanisms and proposals for policy
reform that would permit enhanced police-community partnership,
collaboration and mutual respect. Acknowledging the consistency of
this concern despite geographic location, ethnic diversity, and
religious tolerance, this book considers controversial factors that
have caused many groups and individuals to question their
relationship with law enforcement. The book examines the context of
police-community relations with contributed research from Nigeria,
South Africa, Kosovo, Turkey, New Zealand, Mexico, Scandinavia and
other North American and European viewpoints. It evaluates the
roles that critical factors such as ethnicity, political
instability, conflict, colonization, mental health, police
practice, religion, critical criminology, socialism, and many other
important aspects and concepts have played on perceptions of
policing and rule of law. A valuable resource for law enforcement
practitioners and researchers, policy makers, and students of
criminal justice, Policing and Minority Communities: Contemporary
Issues and Global Perspectives confronts crucial challenges and
controversies in policing today with quantitative and qualitative
research and practical policy recommendations.

This unique collection brings together international contributors
from a range of disciplines to explore crime and responses to crime
through a religious/faith-based lens. At a time when religion is
under the media spotlight in terms of religiously-motivated hate
crime, terrorism and child abuse this book provides an important
platform for academic debate. It examines these and other key
issues including: faith as a coping strategy, religion as a
motivating factor and the role of religion and morality in shaping
criminal justice responses. This collection clearly places
religion/faith at the heart of criminological enquiry and
illustrates its relevance in addressing wider social issues and
would be of benefit to students and academics researching or
studying in these areas. It will also be of interest to community
and criminal justice practitioners and those with an interest in
community engagement and multi-faith work.
