Books in the Advances in Police Theory and Practice series

Based on six years of field work, the author presents his findings on eight post-conflict African countries. He explores the concept of nonstate policing, explains why it dominates African security provision, describes the services provided, measures the levels of local support, and discusses issues of accountability.

Focused on two key topics regarding policing in the 21st century, this volume brings together highly insightful essays from world-class scholars on developments in contemporary community policing in advanced industrial societies, and peacekeeping in weak and failing states.
