Reconstruction and Reconciliation: Emerging from Transition

Publications, Research, ,

In this presentation, Graeme Simpson addresses some of the simplistic myths about solutions to social conflict, and then reflects on problems that he has experienced with aid efforts organised by the international community, through the United Nations. He does this by focusing on Bosnia. The second part of his presentation addresses what he sees as the flawed assumptions that often underlie the emphasis on economic reconstruction in the wake of war and conflict.

This paper attempts to examine progress made in community policing since its introduction in 1994. The adoption of community policing has to be understood against the background of the massive shortcomings of the 'old' policing system; therefore, policing before 1994 is briefly analysed in order to sketch why the new approach was adopted. Next, given that community policing is an attempt to overcome the shortcomings of the past, this paper will try to establish its effect to date.

This paper seeks to identify the major effects of corrupt acts on the criminal justice system, police relations with the public and the organisational culture of the police. It emphasises the social harm that corrupt acts result in. The primary purpose of this discussion is to combat the view of police corruption as "victimless." It seeks to bring to the attention of the reader the very damaging effects of corrupt acts and to point out that such acts not only have indirect consequences, but often identifiable victims.
