La réforme de la police en Belgique : un compromis à huit tentacules - Paris : IIAP, juil./sept. 1999

Reflection upon reform of the police in Belgium began in the middle of the 1980s, following a large number of highly publicised 'affaris'. The first stage of the reform process has been the demilitarisation of the police and the development of a strategy of inter-communal co-operation.
