Description:
Policing for a New South Africa evaluates the options for change in South African policing. It analyses orthodox policing ideas imported from the West and contrasts them with indigenous models of independent policing in the townships themselves.
Review Quotes: "(The authors') summary of the potentials and problems of "people's courts" as these came under the aegis of the United Democratic Front in the 1980s, before they were broken by the SAP in the name of state security, brings together much scattered evidence not readily available to general readers ... no other work so usefully focuses attention on the democratization of policing."
