argentine police and the 'dirty war': a study of what not to do, and when not to do it
DESCRIPTION
This article takes a look at the role ‘political policing’ and military tutelage of Argentina's police forces had in the disastrous conduct of the repression of a challenge by armed leftist terrorists during the 1970s. The author concludes that the origins of such policies date back to the early 20th century and have continued implications for the challenges faced in police reform and citizen security in the country once considered to be the most advanced in Latin America.Martin Edwin Andersen, a former senior advisor for policy planning at the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the former senior advisor for defense and foreign policy for Senate Majority Whip Alan Cranston (D-Calif.), is the author of two books on Argentine history, Dossier Secreto: Argentina's Desaparecidos and the Myth of the ‘Dirty War’ (1993) and La Policia: Pasado, Presente y Propuestas para el Futuro, as well as numerous scholarly articles on policing and public security.TRANSCRIPT
