Abstract: conclusion is that the design and implementation of democratic police reforms in transitional societies can be achieved if such efforts are pursued in tandem with a broader comprehensive plan to promote democratic development.Democratic Policing in Transitional and Developing Countries offers arguably the most comprehensive statement thus far on the depth and breath of the task of promoting democratic transformation of policing in transitional or post-conflict societies.I like this book very much for its common theme on the centrality of the special historical and contemporary socio-political forces that shape policing in each society, and the need to link police reforms with the broader concerns of democratic socio-economic development.The manifold lessons it provides for democratic police reforms in transitional societies should make it a primary reference for academics, development planners and all those who are engaged in promoting democratic reforms of any kind in these societies.
