Security Governance in East Africa
This collection of cases from East Africa, contributed largely by locally-based authors, explores the increasing security governance phenomenon in the region: that is, the mix of state and non-state actors, including private entities, volunteer auxiliaries, homegrown vigilantes and gangs, and the relationship between police and communities. Local dynamics brought by globalization, liberalization, the new scramble for resource wealth, inequality, and international terrorism are observed in detail, superimposed upon the well-known development challenges, ethnopolitical divides, and patterns of government and security provision which continue to reflect their colonial past. This book raises both practical and theoretical ethical dilemmas of the increasing fragmentation of security functions within Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan, mainland Tanzania, and Zanzibar. It is a vital contribution to the “non-state,” “plural policing” debates and is of both local and global relevance.
Understanding and Preventing Community Violence
This book examines the contemporary rise in community violence across the United States and globally from sociological and criminological perspectives. It comprehensively investigates police response to criminal incidents, engagements with criminal suspects, use of force by law enforcement, and crime control measures implemented or recommended to initiate effective crime control measures so that the unwanted rise of violence and serious crime can again be contained. The primary audience for the book will be upper level undergraduate and graduate level students, criminal justice and law enforcement practitioners, government policy makers, community advocates, and researchers in sociology, criminology, homeland security, criminal justice, public administration, and political science.
Special Topics in Policing
This edited volume provides a comprehensive exploration of five critical dimensions of policing, with a particular focus on leadership and its role in addressing contemporary challenges in the field. Through a multidisciplinary and global lens, the chapters examine pressing issues, including: Addressing challenges in policing today; Improving leadership in police executive positions; Training police patrol personnel in leadership; Enhancing police-community collaboration; Prioritizing police officer safety and wellness. Grounded in sociological and theoretical frameworks, this book analyzes these themes in depth, offering innovative perspectives and evidence-based policy recommendations. This collection emphasizes the imperative of fostering professionalism, organizational effectiveness, and public trust in police institutions. By engaging with these key issues, the book seeks to advance understanding and propose actionable strategies to enhance the integrity and functionality of policing organizations worldwide and to promote leadership as a necessary qualification across all ranks.
