  • Policing Peace Operations: Filling the Security Gap Between Military and Police
    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.

Theories and empirical studies drawn from psychology, sociology, and the management sciences served as sensitizing concepts which guided data collection. Twenty-eight retired military elites drawn from vocations across the tri-service SAF shared their ‘lived experiences’ during semi-structured interviews. There were primary and secondary motivations to join the SAF. The former included prestigious scholarships, that the SAF was the best career option available, military medicine was an atypical path for doctors, cutting-edge technology and technical competency, and genuine interests in the armed forces. The latter categories comprised salary, flying, the sea, ‘escaping’ conscription in the army, and familial roles in the choice of a military career.

Henkle Richmond, Virginia May 2000 Preface This thesis studies a Confederate cavalry company from the immediate prewar years through the war, ending with the death of one of its last members. Most soldiers were residents of Botetourt County, Virginia. The study focuses upon both the men themselves and the battles in which they fought. Letters, diaries, and postwar accounts reveal their thoughts. After the war, many took an active role in both veterans' affairs and their community by joining veteran camps and participating in politics. Near the end, many received pensions or stayed in old soldiers' homes. I owe a great debt to the staffs of several libraries, without whom producing this paper would have been impossible.
