Rezensionen

"Police corruption is a major problem almost everywhere, but it is a poorly understood phenomenon. Leslie Holmes' book addresses the need for a more scientific understanding, utilising an innovative in-depth comparative method. Most importantly, he identifies clear and practical measures to optimise integrity and improve public trust in police."

Tim Prenzler, Professor of Criminology, University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia

"This path-breaking comparative study addresses an important gap in the literature and shows that the wicked problem of police corruption can be curbed with strong political will and capacity in Germany and Singapore, but not in Bulgaria and Russia. I highly recommend this book to policymakers, police reformers and scholars."

Jon Quah, Retired Professor of Political Science, National University of Singapore
