Policing in Divided Societies

1 Credit · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

The goal of “Policing in Divided Societies” is to provide students with a grounding in the complexities of international policing as illustrated in the case studies of Sierra Leone, Uganda, Uganda and Bangladesh. The course examines the role that police play in both the formal and informal legal systems of the four countries. On the second day of the course, the students will divide into groups and develop pilot projects that will test a law enforcement/criminal justice hypothesis. The course concludes with a discussion of the pilot projects.
