Public Administration and DevelopmentSummary: The notion that economic development in African states requires minimal levels of security has become widely accepted in the international development community. The question is which types of security provision---professional all service policing or functionally specialized agencies---will have the greater impact on promoting and sustaining economic development. Using mainly available data and analyses by van Dijk, I argue that functional policing styles and work are more important to address the major obstacle to economic development: grand corruption, organized crime, political violence, fraud and mismanagement by government than professional all-service policing. - Reproduced.
