Policing the Global South: Colonial Legacies, Pluralities, Partnerships, and Reform

Offers a timely contribution covering a range of cutting-edge empirical research chapters from talented academics around the globe.

Given the range of chapters from academics around the world, sales are to be expected in a range of countries in the Global South.

Challenges the dominance of northern theories in policing and the intellectual exclusion of the experiences of most of the world’s population relegated to the margins, therefore contributing to the growing movement of a Southern Criminology.

The material is timely and is likely to have a significant shelf-life, given the importance and momentum the debate around southern theories has gained.

This is a unique book with no direct comparisons, and is a compelling contribution to the field of policing studies.

Since some of the problems described in the chapters are of long-standing and unlikely to be addressed soon, patriarchy or influence of religion, the shelf life should be long.
