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.
