Police for Peace An Assessment of Sudan’s Police Force in Peacebuilding Mohamed ALDAGO PhD School of Social and International Studies Department of Peace Studies University of Bradford 2015 Mohamed Ahmed Abaker Aldago Police for Peace An Assessment of Sudan’s Police Force in Peacebuilding Abstract Police, Sudan, Community policing, Peacebuilding This study aims to examine the relation between Sudanese police and peacebuilding in the country following an exceptionally long period of varied and complex violent conflict Literature on peacebuilding acknowledges the increasing role of police in peacebuilding, but is more often focussed on international police forces than domestic police. in order to investigate the roles of domestic forces in peacebuilding an analysis of the Sudan police is undertaken, which includes its history, organisation, management, training and the adoption of a policy of ‘community policing’. The study evaluates community policing as relatively modern policing style that is espoused by international peace builders in post conflict settings. It also examines the placement of police in peace agreements. The study concludes that whilst international police efforts in peacebuilding are not without pitfalls, domestic police, such as the Sudanese, may also be unfit for peacebuilding roles without changes in certain aspects of their organisational, management, recruitment, training and policing approaches. The study proposes a i more combined approach that brings together domestic and international police for more effective role in peacebuilding. ii University of Bradford eThesis This thesis is hosted in Bradford Scholars – The University of Bradford Open Access repository.

  • Chicago Police and the Labor and Urban Crises of the Late Twentieth Century
    The Patrolmen’s Revolt: Chicago Police and the Labor and Urban Crises of the Late Twentieth Century By Megan Marie Adams A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair Professor Richard Candida-Smith Professor Kim Voss Fall 2012 1 Abstract The Patrolmen’s Revolt: Chicago Police and the Labor and Urban Crises of the Late Twentieth Century by Megan Marie Adams Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair My dissertation uncovers a history of labor insurgency and civil rights activism organized by the lowest-ranking members of the Chicago police. From 1950 to 1984, dissenting police throughout the city reinvented themselves as protesters, workers, and politicians. Part of an emerging police labor movement, Chicago’s police embodied a larger story where, in an era of “law and order” politics, cities and police departments lost control of their police officers. My research shows how the collective action and political agendas of the Chicago police undermined the city’s Democratic machine and unionized an unlikely group of workers during labor’s steep decline. On the other hand, they both perpetuated and protested against racial inequalities in the city. To reconstruct the political realities and working lives of the Chicago police, the dissertation draws extensively from new and unprocessed archival sources, including aldermanic papers, records of the Afro-American Patrolman’s League, and previously unused collections documenting police rituals and subcultures.

NATIONAL DRUG ENFORCEMENT POLICY BOARD Federal Drug Enforcement Progress Report 1984 - 1985 March 1986 PREFACE This report is submitted to Congress pursuant to the National Narcotics Act of 1984. As Chairman of the National Drug Enforcement Policy Board, the Attorney General is required to submit biannual reports to Congress. On July 9, 1985, the Policy Board forwarded its first report, which described the Board's law enforcement policies and strategies. Beginning with this second report, the Board must give to Congress "a full and complete report reflecting accomplishments ...." Even though the Policy Board was not created until the middle of fiscal year 1985, this report describes accomplishments in drug enforcement during fiscal years 1984 and 1985. Although this report focuses primarily on law enforcement efforts to reduce the supply of drugs in the United States, the Policy Board recognizes the importance of efforts to reduce the demand for drugs. A major section of this report describes the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) Program. Annual reports of the OCDETF Program were prepared for calendar years 1983 and 1984. The Policy Board has decided to consolidate reporting on 1985 OCDETF accomplishments within this report. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface ..................................................... i List of Tables and Figures .................................. iii Introduction .................................................

  • Police Ranks
    Policing and Crime Bill Factsheet: Police Ranks Current rank structure 1. Presently, the police rank structure is set out in the Police Act 1996 (“the 1996 Act”), the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”) and regulations made under the 1996 Act. The 1996 Act allows the Secretary of State to make regulations on the police rank structure, subject to their being prepared or approved by the College of Policing. However, various provisions in both Acts require those regulations to include a number of police ranks. The statutory ranks below the chief officer ranks in all forces in England and Wales are set out in sections 9H and 13 of the 1996 Act. They include: Constable Sergeant Inspector Chief inspector Superintendent Chief superintendent 2. Additionally, the 2011 Act requires every force to have at least one officer at each of the chief officer ranks. The chief officer ranks in all English and Welsh forces, other than the Metropolitan Police and City of London Police, are: Assistant chief constable Deputy chief constable Chief constable 3. Chief officer ranks in the Metropolitan Police are: Commander Deputy assistant commissioner Assistant commissioner Deputy commissioner Commissioner 4. Chief officer ranks in the City of London Police are: Commander Assistant commissioner Commissioner In these provisions the Home Secretary has very little flexibility in the rank structure that she may provide for in regulations and, accordingly, regulation 4 of the Police Regulations 2003 simply specifies those ranks already stipulated in primary legislation. 1 The Leadership Review 5. In an oral statement on 22 July 2014 (House of Commons, Official Report, columns 1265 to 1277), the Home Secretary announced that she had asked the College of Policing to conduct a fundamental review of police leadership.

  • United Nations Human Rights Thematic Mechanism to Be Established with a Universal Mandate
    A/HRC/19/58/Rev.1 Advance Edited Version Distr.: General 2 March 2012 Original: English Human Rights Council Nineteenth session Agenda item 3 Promotion and protection of all human rights, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to development Report of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances* ** Summary The Working Group was the first United Nations human rights thematic mechanism to be established with a universal mandate. The original mandate derives from Commission on Human Rights resolution 20 (XXXVI) of 29 February 1980. This resolution followed General Assembly resolution 33/173 of 20 December 1978, in which the Assembly expressed concern at reports from various parts of the world relating to enforced disappearances and requested the Commission on Human Rights to consider the question of missing or disappeared persons. The mandate was most recently extended by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 16/16 of 24 March 2011. The total number of cases transmitted by the Working Group to Governments since its inception is 53,778. The number of cases under active consideration that have not yet been clarified, closed or discontinued stands at 42,759 in a total of 82 States. The Working Group has been able to clarify 448 cases over the past five years. The present report reflects communications and cases examined by the Working Group during its three sessions in 2011, covering the period 13 November 2010 to 11 November 2011. It includes, in annex I, sections on 95 States and territories; the Working Group’s latest general comment on the right to recognition as a person before the law in the context of enforced disappearance; and the Working Group’s revised methods of work.

  • Understanding and Preventing Police Use of Excessive Force
    UNDERSTANDING AND PREVENTING POLICE USE OF EXCESSIVE FORCE: AN ANALYSIS OF ATTITUDES TOWARD POLICE JOB SATISFACTION AND HUMAN RIGHTS LAWS Huseyin Akdogan, B.A., M.S. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2009 APPROVED: Lisa Dicke, Committee Chair David McEntire, Committee Member Kevin Yoder, Committee Member Robert Bland, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of Public Administration Thomas Evenson, Dean of College of Public Affairs and Community Service Michael Monticino, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Akdogan, Huseyin. Understanding and preventing police use of excessive force: An analysis of attitudes toward police job satisfaction and human rights laws. Doctor of Philosophy (Public Administration and Management), December 2009, 178 pages, 22 tables, 7 figures, references, 82 titles. Although governments try to create strict policies and regulations to prevent abuses, use of excessive force is still a problem for almost every country including Turkey. This study is intended to help Turkish National Police administrators to understand and prevent police use of excessive force. Studies on police brutality categorize three factors that explain why police officers use excessive force; these are individual, situational and organizational. In addition to brutality theories, job satisfaction literature is examined in this study to understand the use of excessive force. Job satisfaction is found to be related with burnout, turnover, stress, commitment, and performance. The impact of officers’ attitude toward the criminal justice system and/or laws has not been tested widely. Police officers attitudes toward human rights laws are examined in this study to measure its impact on attitude toward use of excessive force.
