As a result, the region has faced difficulties in maintaining order and democratizing due process of law. Their capacity has been limited by a lack of social legitimacy and professionalization of the states' agencies, resulting from having been historically instrumentalized by dominant elites for the satisfaction of their own economic and institutional interests. Some outcomes have been the adoption by police of an adversarial view of citizens and their constitutional rights as well as high rates of police violence and lethality. This collection represents an unprecedented English language discussion offering comparative analysis of the realities and problems of Latin America. The contributors address the complex education of police officers as well as the technical and professional capacity of police in the daily exercise of their activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners working in and around Brazilian and Latin American policing, as well as students and scholars of international law enforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eduardo Cerqueira Batitucci\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032769815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032769813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Eduardo Cerqueira Batitucci","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874532503807,"sku":"9781032769813","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/police-education-in-brazil-and-eduardo-cerqueira-batitucci-9781032769813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
