This crisis continually traps governments between the need for comprehensive reform and the public demand for immediate action, usually meaning iron-fisted police tactics harking back to the repressive pre-1980s dictatorships. In Policing Democracy, Mark Ungar situates Latin America at a crossroads between its longstanding form of reactive policing and a problem-oriented approach based on prevention and citizen participation. Drawing on extensive case studies from Argentina, Bolivia, and Honduras, he reviews the full spectrum of areas needing reform: criminal law, policing, investigation, trial practices, and incarceration. Finally, Policing Democracy probes democratic politics, power relations, and regional disparities of security and reform to establish a framework for understanding the crisis and moving beyond it. 606 $aViolence$zLatin America$xPrevention 606 $aViolence$zLatin America 606 $aPolice$zLatin America 606 $aCrime prevention$zLatin America$xCitizen participation 606 $aInternal security$zLatin America 606 $aCrime prevention$zLatin America 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aViolence$xPrevention. 615 0$aViolence 615 0$aPolice 615 0$aCrime prevention$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aInternal security 615 0$aCrime prevention 676 $a363.2/3098 700 $aUngar$b Mark$01088344 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524673903321 996 $aPolicing Democracy$92605760 997 $aUNINA
