Beskrivning

The book discusses police practices in Uganda, which are understood as fluid and reflective of the socio-political, cognitive and discursive contexts within which the Uganda Police Force (UPF) exist. It contributes to the literature on police research, especially to our understanding of policing and the anthropology of the state in Africa.
