Venezuela: the shifting organizational framework for the police

Pages 295-304 | Published online: 29 Oct 2009
 

Abstract

Recent political polarization in Venezuela has exacerbated longer term tensions over the organization and control of the police. Additionally, there is ongoing and widespread public dissatisfaction with the nature of policing. The patrimonial and authoritarian nature of much policing and the heterogeneity of training programs and resource provision pose considerable challenges to reform. Nevertheless, today’s police officers are right to wonder who they will be working for, what rank they will have, and what kind of work they will be given in 2018.
