Editorial Reviews
Review
“This very interesting book makes an excellent contribution to the literature. It places policing within a macro theorerical framework of analysis and describes the relevance of development theories to policing […] I hope it will enlighten students about a neo-colonial web of policing that extends far beyond our shores.”
– British Journal of Criminology
