"This very interesting book makes an excellent contribution to the literature. It places policing within a macro theorerical framework of analysis and describes the relevance of development theories to policing [...] I hope it will enlighten students about a neo-colonial web of policing that extends far beyond our shores."- British Journal of Criminology
