Policing in a democratic, free society is one of the essential arguments in the literature. However, the data collected from the police chiefs (N = 306) show that nepotism and favouritism enforced mostly by politicians, are the main problems in police organization in Turkey. That means that legality is ignored by the governing political parties at the expense of democratization of policing. Consequently, law enforcement and maintaining social order within the principles of democracy are Problematic in Turkey which may provide such a climate as to favour organized criminal groups, that are against democratziation of the country.

The power effects of human rights reforms in Turkey: enhanced surveillance and depoliticisation Bahçecik, Şerif Onur (2015-06-03) While the perspective of 'liberalism of fear' assumes that human rights limit the despotic power of the state, this paper argues that human rights reforms promoted in the context of institution- and capacity-building programmes have had significant power effects by enhancing the disciplinary capacities of the Turkish state and blunting the transformative potential of rights claiming.
