State Policing in Sub-Saharan Africa The Weakest Link of Security Sector Governance

State Policing in Sub-Saharan Africa

The Weakest Link of Security Sector Governance

The key argument of this book is that state policing plays a vital role in the realm of security sector governance, but that African police have several failings that are direct outcomes of their historical development: they are often violent, brutal, corrupt and politicised. As institutions, Africa's national police forces still tend to resemble those established by colonial powers in their structure and conduct, and are typically mistrusted by the very people for whom they are meant to ensure security and safety.
