En su reciente publicación, la Dra. Lucia Dammert, académica del Departamento de Estudios Políticos (DEP) aborda un tema fundamental en el contexto latinoamericano: la reforma policial.
El libro se ha desarrollado entre la colaboración interdisciplinaria de diversos académicos de renombre: Mary Fran T. Malone, profesora en la University of New Hampshire, Orlando J. Pérez, profesor en la University of North Texas at Dallas y Lucía Dammert.
“Police forces in Latin America historically have been regarded as hopelessly corrupt, inefficient, and even abusive. More recently, however, there have been clear signs that police reforms have gained traction in the region—with some notable exceptions. The authors of this book explore the scope of the reforms that have been enacted in a diverse group of countries, their impact on police-society relations, and perhaps most important, how sustainable they are proving to be in the current climate of democratic decline”.
