Description
Establishes a composite of police administration in Africa as an evolving profession, looking at relationships between scholars and practitioners in police administration, and interactions between administration of the local police forces and those of the national or central government. Coverage encompasses the administration of pre- colonial and local colonial policing, the reduced role of the district commissioner during the post-colonial period, colonial administrative ideals and practices, and the changing crime problem. A final chapter looks at the future of police administration in African countries. Includes discussion questions and student exercises. c. Book News Inc.
