Opis

What does it take to reform a post-Soviet police force? This book explores the conditions in which a meaningful transformation of the police is likely to succeed and when it will fail. Based on the analysis of five post-Soviet countries that have officially embarked on police reform efforts, Erica Marat examines various pathways to transforming how the state relates to society through policing.

Recenzje

Marat's notable contribution to the study of police reform is an emphasis on a bottom-up rather than top-down dynamic in the reform process. The book is strongly recommended for graduate students and researchers."
