An extraordinarily thorough analysis.
Through impressively detailed case studies of the criminal justice systems and attempts at reform in Honduras, Bolivia, and Argentina, [Ungar] provides us with a much-needed understanding of what police in Latin America are doing—not, as he points out, just what the police are doing wrong... He offers some very interesting, well-researched, and innovative ways in which discretion can be integrated into both training and reforms.
Very few scholars in the field have the grasp of recent changes in and problems of systems of citizen security in Latin America that this author has. His vision is comprehensive, extending from policing to the judiciary to the prison system.
