This paper will overview a wealth of specific research work (both generic and specific to the
security sector) to frame the development of the intellectual debate on HIV/AIDS and the police
thus far. It will also look at more specific issues related to the police and to the security sector in
order to highlight the key areas discussed at the micro level but from which broader conclusions
and recommendations could be drawn. Finally, the paper will present a number of
recommendations for further discussion and research.
