David Bayley
I have known David Bayley personally for a long time and followed his career over the years. David’s reputation and status in the profession rests, I think, on four basic achievements. One was his ability to connect micro level analyses of the police who do policing, as well as other actors on fields of security, to larger national and even global trends. He placed the police squarely into the politics of their locations as powerful political act…
The tragic core of criminal justice
The futures of policing African states
The current organizational arrangements, cultures, and practices of policing in Sub‐Saharan African states, and likely future developments to more democratic forms of policing, are constrained by persistent patterns of political instability, pervasive insecurity, identity‐based and often quite violent conflicts, corruption, vast class and status distinctions among the rich and the poor, weak civic society organizations, and a withdrawing from the…
The Technology of Policing
Their reports are not read and their recommendations are resisted
The goal of reforming policing systems in transitional, conflict‐torn, and failed states has become a major focus of donor assistance projects, for without effective, efficient, equitable, and accountable policing wider social, economic, and political development is not likely to be sustained. Although a large reform literature, written by members of a global police policy community, has been generated, few long‐range improvements can be pointed …
The Management of Border Security in Nafta
As a free trade area, NAFTA requires the relatively unrestricted movement of people, goods, and services across the borders between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Although the proponents of NAFTA emphasize positive economic outcomes for the three partners, the dependence of those outcomes on open borders inevitably brings with it the prospect of greater opportunities for transnational criminal activities, generally, and for narcotrafficki…
Guest editor's introduction
Police Training for Democracy1
In this paper the position is taken that the best way to prepare officers for policing based on democratic values is through an andragogy approach to training (mutual involvement of the expert and the novice in the learning process) rather than through the traditional pedagogy approach (the transmission of information from the expert to the learner). Furthermore, the education and training of police officers must be grounded in experimental learn…

International cooperation in the war on drugs
Both Mexico and the United States, which share a long and porous border, have declared international narcotics trafficking a national security problem. Nevertheless, operational cooperation in dealing with this common problem has been lacking. We argue that difficulties in trans‐national cooperation are caused, in the main, by conflicting evaluations of the causes and impacts of the drug problem, competing nationalisms in the U.S. and Mexico, and…
United States police assistance to emerging democracies
The United States keeps trying to be the policeman of the world. Since the collapse of Communism it has intensified its police assistance to ‘emerging democracies’. This paper sets out seven principles to ensure such assistance is effective and does aid democracy in the recipient countries

Policing the last frontier
The description of the origins and development of the Village Public Safety Officer (VPSO) Program, which serves the Native Communities of Alaska, is used to judge the validity of the dominant explanations (culture contact/social dislocation and underdevelopment/dependency) for the state of Native affairs in Alaska. Both explanations are found wanting as they do not explain the specific dynamics of change. An alternative theory ‐ an interested ac…

Implementing Deployment Policies in the National Youth Service Corps of Nigeria
The Nigerian government established the National Youth Service Corps in 1973 as a means for furthering national unity. The program deploys Nigerian university and polytechnic graduates for a one-year period away from their home states to areas of Nigeria they might otherwise not have become familiar with. This article develops a measure of proper deployment (using the standards mandated in the establishing decree for the NYSC) and analyzes the de…

Resolving Epistemological Contradictions in Marxist African Studies
The Epistemological status of their own consciousness is the core contradiction of Marxist thought. This difficulty has not been acknowledged by African Marxists, nor do they explicitly admit to the varieties of radical scholarship which form their intellectual heritage, and which their own worl seeks to modify and elaborate. Marxist scholars have been unable to develop a cogent, persuasive justification for radical theorising as an alternative t…
Policing Nigeria
Claude Ake (1982: 8, 3), in his Presidential Address to the 1982 Convention of the Nigerian Political Science Association, criticized Nigerian society, politics, and state behavior in damning terms: A predatory capitalism has bred misery, turned politics into warfare and all but arrested the development of productive forces. The Nigerian ruling class has assaulted the masses with physical and psychological violence and thwarted their aspirations,…
Policing African States
The state is the dominating intermediary between people and the world system. Conceptions of what the state is, how it functions, and in whose interests it functions are central to theories of modernization and underdevelopment. The state, though, is an abstraction. What does exist is the actions of individuals and institutions that comprise the theorized concept; and only when these actions are described, as they occur and their effects become k…

The Nigerian State as Process and Manager
The state should be understood from and within civil society, though in its objective, institutional form it appears to be, and proclaims itself to stand above society. .... This tension between the underlying reality of the state as guarantor and organizer of social domination, on the one hand, and as agent of a general interest which, though partialized and limited, is not fictitious, on the other, is characteristic of any state. This tension i…
The Anini Saga
At the conclusion of a meeting of the Armed Forces Ruling Council in October 1986, President Ibrahim Babangida turned to the Inspector- General of the Nigeria Police Force, Etim Inyang, and asked, 'My friend, where is Anini?'. At about this time, Nigerian newspapers and journals were publishing numerous articles and editorials on the 'Anini Challenge', the 'Anini Saga', the 'Anini Factor', 'Lawrence Anini - the Man, the Myth', 'Anini, Jack the Ri…

Essence and Empiricism in African Politics
Whatis 'essence' and what is 'appearance' in African politics? Does class or interest-group analysis describe and explain the various realities? These questions are unanswerable without an examination of the methods by which claims to correct understanding are made. All claims to knowledge are arbitrary until the methods of enquiry and the justification for their validity are made explicit

Economic dependence and cultural diversity are the bedrock upon which the élites of ex-colonial states attempt to construct a functioning state apparatus, a viable economy, and a sense of nationhood to surround and enshrine the emergent order. The achievement of national integration is sought in language and education policies, cultural and ideological programmes, and the structuring of access to – and distribution of – available resources. It is…
