The Handbook builds on the basic concepts and principles reflected in the United Nations standards and norms in crime prevention and criminal justice that relate to policing and that are outlined in other United Nations documents on the subject as well as in the wider range of scholarly and policy literature. It seeks to provide practitioners, including government officials, police, municipal planners and members of civic groups, especially in low- and middle-income countries, with a basic conceptual grounding in democratic policing, and guidelines on good practices so that they can successfully undertake democratic policing in the urban contexts in which they operate.
