"Sexuality in the Swedish Police is based on the experiences of lesbian, gay and bisexual police officers and the author's observations of police work. Written at the intersection of organizational, gender and police studies, the book analyses how processes of exclusion and inclusion of LGB sexuality coexist in the Swedish police, how these processes are related to the culture and characteristics of police work, and how police management attempts to create an inclusive organisation. How and under what conditions does the exclusion and inclusion of LGB officers and LGB sexuality take place in the Swedish police? By delving into this question, the author seeks to answer, among other things, how it is that there are so few openly gay male police officers and how barriers to inclusion can be understood. The book contributes to a better understanding of the problems and activities associated with diversity issues, particularly with a focus on sexual orientation, but also more generally; many of the insights in the book can be used to understand the inclusion and exclusion of other groups in society. A key insight from the book is that inclusion and exclusion are collective processes characterized by struggle, a struggle that according to the author can be understood through the concept of "peripheral inclusion". Sexuality in the Swedish Police will be of great interest to scholars and students as well as practitioners with an interest in diversity issues and policing. The book is also relevant to those working in or interested in diversity, inclusion and equality in other similarly "masculinized" organizations, such as the armed forces and certain sports organisations"-- Provided by publisher.

Die V-Männer des von Reinhard Heydrich geführten Sicherheitsdienstes (SD) stellen einen der letzten weißen Flecken der Topografie des NS-Terrors dar. Carsten Schreiber gibt nach jahrzehntelangen Spekulationen erstmals Auskunft über Aufgaben, Funktion und Umfang dieses geheimdienstlichen Netzwerks und über die Sozialstruktur der V-Männer. Empirische Basis ist ein beispielloser Quellenfund: die Personalkartei des Dresdner SD-Abschnittes mit den Namen aller 2746 V-Leute im Land Sachsen. Sie führt vor Augen, wie bereitwillig sich gesellschaftliche Eliten aus Wirtschaft und Verwaltung anwerben ließen. Der Verfasser deckt das geheime Netzwerk des Sicherheitsdienstes auf, um dieses sowohl innerhalb der deutschen Gesellschaft als auch im Gefüge der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaftsinstanzen zu verorten. Der SD, jene titelgebende "Elite im Verborgenen", war ein gefährliches Amalgam aus Geheimdienst und totalitärer Weltanschauungselite. In Anknüpfung an die neuesten Forschungstrends der "Täterforschung" stellt diese Arbeit, über ihr Thema hinaus, einen gewichtigen Beitrag zur Sozial- und Herrschaftsgeschichte des "Dritten Reiches" dar.

Mexico has undertaken reforms in recent years to professionalize its police. This report draws on the literature on corruption and personnel incentives and analyzes police reform in Mexico. It addresses the roots of corruption and the tools that could be used to mitigate it and provides an initial assessment of the reforms' effectiveness. The results suggest some progress, though police corruption still remains high and more work is needed.
