The key argument of this book is that state policing plays a vital role in the
realm of security sector governance, but that African police have several
failings that are direct outcomes of their historical development: they are
often violent, brutal, corrupt and politicised. As institutions, Africa's
national police forces still tend to resemble those established by colonial
powers in their structure and conduct, and are typically mistrusted by the
very people for whom they are meant to ensure security and safety.
