Democratic Policing in Transitional and Developing Countries

Abstract: Democratic Policing in Transitional and Developing Countries is held together on the one hand by a persistent call to link democratic policing reforms to democratic socioeconomic development, and on the other hand by an emphasis on the centrality of understanding the peculiar historical and contemporary socio-political conditions that shape policing in each transitional society. It refutes both top-down and one-size-fitsall approaches to a foreign policy of promoting democratic policing in transitional societi… Show more

“…Policing is thus inseparable from the context it is embedded in. This politically utilitarian approach is reiterated by other western scholars such as Szikinger (2001) and Pino and Wiatrowski (2006) as well as by some state development organisations (Denney and Domingo, 2017). Yet, as Tankebe (2013) and Kapoor (2013) note, in practice there is a misalignment between the intent to build stable democratic institutions with access to justice for all and the functions of post-colonial or post-conflict policing agencies which tend to support the established political order.…”

“…The linguistic challenge of conceptualising policing is evident in the vast array of qualifying terms that are used in the context of policing policy transfer to transitional states: Non State Policing (Baker, 2009a); Peacebuilding and Police Reform (Tanke-Holm and Barth-Eide, 2000); Community Policing and Peacebuilding (Grabosky, 2009); UN Policing (Harrington, 2008); Post-Colonial Policing (Cole, 1999); Private Policing (Johnston, 2000); Post Conflict Policing (Baker, 2009b;2009b;; Terrorism Policing (Gregory, 2007;Deflem, 2010); Intelligent Policing (Harfield, 2008) and Democratic Policing (Manning, 2010;Pino and Wiatrowski, 2006). Some of these terms describe a new or adapted function; others describe the entity that delivers a function that the author considers to be traditionally or regularly undertaken by the police, while democratic policing describes not just a function or agent but also a value system.…”

“…Growing criminological attention has been devoted to international and Western efforts of security sector reform (SSR) and police reform in ‘developing’ countries (e.g. Blaustein, 2015; Ellison and Pino, 2012; Goldsmith and Scheptycki, 2007; Pino and Wiatrowski, 2006). Yet, these contributions have noticed that Western export of policing and criminal justice models often counteract democratic institutions rather than fostering them, because they are geared at indirect control through the preservation of the elites in power; driven more by donor countries’ security interests than by local needs (Blaustein, 2015; Ellison and Pino, 2012).…”

“…To date, few criminologists have analysed and conceptualized the meeting point between transnational and local criminal justice in the context of international state-building, and those who have done so have focused in particular on police reform and training (Blaustein, 2015;Bowling and Sheptycki, 2012;Brogden and Nijhar, 2005;Ellison and Pino, 2012;Goldsmith and Sheptycki, 2007;Pino and Wiatrowski, 2006). Importantly, these scholars have brought attention to the fact that the 'one size fits all' crime control and policing models exported and transplanted embody Global North notions of 'democracy', 'rights' and 'stateness' which do not take into account the local 'history, politics, culture, legal norms, the existence of a functioning state infrastructure and the presence of elite groups who are normatively committed to democratization' (Ellison and Pino, 2012: 56).…”
