Justice, Policing, and the Rule of Law Tom Lansford

The maintenance of liberty and equality requires a legal system in which the police are constrained by the rule of law. Justice, Policing, and the Rule of Law, one of the titles in the Foundations of Democracy series, examines the need for security officials to understand and respect the rights of individuals and groups and to use their power in a manner that benefits communities, rather than repressing them.
