The Case Against Paramilitary Policing

More about the book

Examining the concept of paramilitarism, the book argues that rather than resolving public disorder swiftly, it often exacerbates the issues it aims to address. Through a critical analysis, it reveals how paramilitary actions can lead to increased instability and conflict, challenging the perception of their effectiveness. Originally published in 1990, the work invites readers to reconsider the implications of relying on paramilitary forces in managing social unrest.
