INVITATION TO BOOK LAUNCH
I am writing to kindly invite Your Excellency to a Discussion Panel themed ‘Community Policing and the Threat of Global Terrorism’ and Book Launch ‘Police Corruption and Community Policing in Nigeria: A Sociological Case Study’ (https://mellenpress.com/author/aminu-musa-audu/8377/) (https://mellenpress.com/book/Police-Corruption-and-Community-Policing-in-Nigeria-A-Sociological-Case-Study/9491/) event in the UK.
This new book stemmed from my doctoral research conducted at the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology School of Law and Social Justice University of Liverpool UK. The thesis was on assessment of impact of the UK-DFID’s overseen community policing initiative in Nigeria. The University of Liverpool’s Final PhD Research Report stated that:
‘…The external examiner has noted the high level of originality and rareness of research of this nature that is- to the minds of both examiners-the first study of this kind to be conducted on community policing in Nigeria…High praise is offered from both examiners for conducting policing research within the international domain and for negotiating /facilitating research in complex socio-economic circumstances.…directly policy relevant…’; ‘…be considered for development into a published book as an advancement of knowledge in this area of policing studies…’; ‘…it is a highly persuasive and ultimately devastating critique of current police practice which should be widely made available to western governments who seek to apply their own domestic reforms in what is a less than receptive environments…’ and ‘…it clearly opens the door to further postdoctoral research…’
This event is aimed towards promoting understanding among global stakeholders on community policing perspective and the current debate about the threat of global terrorism. This event will offer me fantastic opportunity to contribute to peace process in Nigeria and globally, thereby gaining valuable skills to enhance my community policing scholarship and research career. I would be grateful if Your Excellecy could kindly grace the occasion for the benefit of humanity.
The date is Thursday 11th October 2018, Time: 12.00pm, in the Albert Suite at Hilton Hotel Liverpool City Centre, 3 Thomas Steers Way, L1 8 LW, Liverpool, UK.
Please do accept the assurances of my highest regards.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Aminu Musa Audu
Coordinator.
