Inside an African Police Force: The Ugandan Police Examined by Jude Kagoro
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 191 Pages | ISBN : 3031149912 | 2.8 MB

The book discusses police practices in Uganda, which are understood as fluid and reflective of the socio-political, cognitive and discursive contexts within which the Uganda Police Force (UPF) exist. The author was immersed in the UPF both as an ethnographer and a consultant. The book demonstrates how police officers navigate clashes between personal interests and those of the UPF shedding more light on the divergences and convergences between policies in theory and policies in practice. It contributes to the literature on police research, especially to our understanding of policing and the anthropology of the state in Africa. It highlights that the Ugandan police engages in political policing and its role is stretched beyond its legal mandate. The target audience is twofold: first, academics interested in police studies and the undercurrents of interface bureaucracies in Africa. Second, practitioners focused on improving state and police services in African contexts.

"An important assessment of how chief police officers understand and use power and what this might mean for the maintenance of legitimacy.

Education Level and Police Use of Force: The Impact of a College Degree

Education Level and Police Use of Force: The Impact of a College Degree by John Vespucci
English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 64 Pages | ISBN : 3030427943 | 1.6 MB

This brief presents a study addressing the impact of a college degree upon officer use of force. The average American municipal police academy only requires 26 weeks of training, despite previous studies showing overwhelming support that college educated police officers apply more discretion in their use of force than officers without a college degree. Taking into account contemporary public/police conflicts and how American perceptions of police are based largely on officer use of force, this study offers a more current perspective on the profession’s changing dynamic over the past decade.
