Based on six years of field work, Professor Baker presents his findings on eight post-conflict African countries. His research, gathered through interviews, observations, and focus groups, examines the complex types of law enforcement and crime prevention systems that have developed during times of political and social instability. He explores the concept of nonstate policing, explains why it dominates African security provision, describes the services provided, measures the levels of local support, and discusses issues of accountability. He suggests ways to enhance these systems and presents solutions for ensuring security through a collaborative approach between state and nonstate police.
