Reviews
"... the detailed empirical work that appears between the covers of this book shines a light on, not only the determination of the researcher to access meaningful, quality data but also on the complexities of understanding the dynamics of community policing for the police officers and members of the community who participated in this work. Thus, the fieldwork on which this book is based carries important implications in a number of different ways. In particular the veracity of the findings reported here speak volumes to those charged with implementing community policing in Nigeria as well as for those who choose to follow this route as a way of maintaining social order in the communities so policed."
