New Book Offer!COMPARATIVE PROBLEMS OF POLICING:
INTERVIEWS WITH NINETEEN POLICE LEADERS
FROM DIFFERENT NATIONS
by Dilip Das and Otwin Marenin (PDF Offer!)

Much of the knowledge on policing and the issues faced by the police is derived from studies of policing done by nonpolice. This book presents interviews with high ranking police officials from several different countries, to get a sense of how they think about current problems they face within the specific contexts of their countries and the forces of global change, and what administrative and organizational changes they feel need to be made to respond to changing patterns of crimes and threats in current times.

Policing of Corruption: An international Comparative Perspective
Sarre, Das and Albrecht (Editors)

Corruption within government is a worldwide problem. This volume presents insight from police practitioners and scholars on the nature and extent of this epidemic in both more and less developed countries in all regions of the globe. Editors Rick Sarre, Dilip K. Das, and H. J. Albrecht and the notable contributors shed light on the conditions under which corruption flourishes and its far-reaching consequences for individuals' safety and freedom as well as each nation's security, economy, and even sovereignty. Importantly, this volume also presents innovative anti-corruption strategies to be undertaken by governments, international organizations, and the media. Devoting special attention to malpractice within police forces, The Policing of Corruption is an important resource for all who work to undo corruption and its debilitating effects.

Public Order: A World Perspective
Das and Jiao (Editors)

Representing a pioneering effort in the field of public order policing, this collection of articles—written by both practitioners and scholars from all continents of the world—presents public order from a global perspective. The articles address a multitude of public disorder situations and strategies (i.e. demonstrations, protests, celebrations, ceremonies, labor activity, traffic control, sports violence, inter-group violence and terrorism) to present the most comprehensive and contemporary perspectives on this subject. The articles cover a great variety of nations and offer a much more diverse collection of readings than the traditional focus on Western democracies.

International Police Cooperation: A World Perspective
Koenig and Das (Editors)

Daniel J. Koenig and Dilip K. Das, two scholars with extensive experience in criminal justice, are committed to bringing together both practical and theoretical perspectives on the subject of international police cooperation. This book combines the efforts of leading practitioners and academics in criminology in order to address the challenges of such persistent international problems as organized crime and illegal immigration. Rather than focusing solely on the problems that make cooperation desirable, however, the book is also the most current and detailed account of new international cooperative initiatives. Using an innovative cross-cultural and comparative methodology, Koenig and Das present an invaluable source of information for students of criminology and sociology that will fulfill a long-felt gap in the literature on policing.

International Perspectives on Community Policing and Crime Prevention
Lab and Das (Editors)

This text provides insight on the great diversity in community policing and crime prevention as they appear in countries around the world. Various chapters deal with countries that have established formal, professional police forces; are in transition from colonial status to independence; or are emerging democracies faced with the demands associated with major political and social change. All of these efforts are tied together with the recognition that the public needs to be involved in preventing crime.

Organized Crime: World Perspectives
Albanese, Das and Verma (Editors)

Written by natives of each of the many countries represented throughout the text, this unique collection illustrates the similarities and differences in organized crime around the world. Each country's demographics and location is described and the introduction to each section indicates how the events in other nations on each continent continue to shape the nature and extent of organized crime in many different countries.

Policing Democracies
Das and Marenin (Editors)

This cross-cultural comparison of various systems highlights the universal observation that police are an anomaly in a democracy and explores how various influences-for example, large-scale social violence, a zeal for crime fighting, and vulnerability to temptation-often find police incapable of behaving in a democratic manner. Challenges goes beyond just showing the similarities and differences of the policing challenges democratic societies face, it also examines the responses and remedies adopted by police in various countries at different levels of democratic achievement and how every society struggles with the challenges of preserving democratic values without sacrificing the effectiveness of policing.
