Beskrivning
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.

Across the globe police services routinely provide descriptions and data that can be found with a few clicks. Seeking to investigate policing practices in greater depth, editor Mbuba offers a much more nuanced critique. He amasses 20 insightful essays from 29 contributing authors examining contemporary law enforcement in different countries. The contributors, all academics or researchers, summarize police developments, cultures, and procedures in nations they know well, spanning Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, Ghana, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Italy, Jamaica, Kenya, Malaysia, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Poland, Serbia, the UK, Uruguay, the US, and Zimbabwe. Those interested in sharp perceptions of law enforcement in these states will likely find these chapters enlightening. The authors write candidly and often fearlessly about the realities they perceive. Some list points for improvement; in other cases the need for further reform is made clear. If policing leads to authoritarianism, corruption, and abuse, then reform is vital, if in fact it can be achieved. The broad trend in these countries—surely with exceptions—is for policing to embrace a non-military style of protection and service. Yet public safety anywhere can be achieved at great cost and then deplorably lost. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty.
