- Abstract
"Making Police Reform Matter in Latin America" is a comprehensive book that provides a contemporary understanding of police reform in Latin America. The book focuses on the history of reform and public opinion, using seven country case studies to analyze the complex political and institutional landscape of police reform in the region. The authors emphasize the importance of community-oriented policing (COP) in creating public support and legitimacy for reform. The book also explores challenges such as democratic erosion, geographic administration, and the rise of organized criminal groups. While the book could have provided more analysis and connections between the case studies, it offers valuable insights into the obstacles and potential for police reform in Latin America.
