Abstract

Most discussions of police and human rights occur when police are clearly violating human rights as they enforce the law or when the laws that they are enforcing clearly violate human rights. This article examines situations that are not so clear. It suggests that the definition of human rights is not always clear and that historical and cultural contexts matter. The concept of human rights is an evolving one, and it evolves through conversation and debate. Finally, police are urged to participate in these conversations, bringing to the table their unique experience and expertise.
