    Policing Peace Operations: Filling the security gap between military and police By Gultekin Topaktas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Global Affairs written under the direction of Dr. Norman Samuels: Professor and Provost Emeritus and approved by Dr. James O. Finckenauer Dr. Gregg G. Van Ryzin Dr. Keith Cozine Newark, New Jersey May 2016 Copyright © 2016 Gultekin Topaktas ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Policing Peace Operations: Filling the security gap between military and police By GULTEKIN TOPAKTAS Dissertation Director: Dr. Norman Samuels: Professor and Provost Emeritus This dissertation explores the roles of gendarmerie, police and military forces in peace operations. The primary purpose of this study is to help strengthening criminal justice system of peace operations and understanding the potential role of law enforcement organizations with military status (gendarmeries) in peace operations. Existing literature indicates that military and police capabilities of gendarmerie- carabinierie type law enforcement organizations offer a unique skill for peace operations. These types of organizations perform a range of police functions such as traffic control, criminal investigations, and general policing activities in their home countries. Such forces can be deployed under the command of the military or can be deployed in police chain of command. In conflicts and peace operations, local law enforcement forces may be unable to maintain public order and security. Generally, until arrival of police units, first intervention units to deal with a security issue are international military forces.
