Overview

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.

This book is a welcome contribution to the scholarship of policing and law enforcement throughout the world. Through chapter contribution by accomplished scholars from around the globe, it provides an in-depth assessment of policing and law enforcement practices in selected countries in Africa, Europe, Asia and Oceania and the Americas including the Caribbean. The book does a great job of analyzing and uncovering the challenges and opportunities of policing and law enforcement practices in various countries. Critically, the issues explored by the authors will help to identify the gaps and themes in policing and law enforcement that require further research.--Michael Kithinji, University of Central Arkansas Policing Perspectives and Challenges in the Twenty First Century is a groundbreaking volume that has broken the iron curtain of academic prejudice by globalizing readings on policing. In so doing, it unleashed universal knowledge beyond political boundaries traversing Africa and beyond through Asia, Europe, and the Americas. By engaging authors on finest topics in the field of policing, Dr. Mbuba has not only produced the most comprehensive book so far in the field of policing but has elevated knowledge on world policing and practices in a manner never seen before. This is a gigantic leap and an addition to his earlier work on Policing in Eastern Africa. The book is a must read for all students of policing and social justice.--Emmanuel Onyeozili, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Maryland Eastern Shore
