如果在社会中使用暴力或威胁使用暴力是主权的一个显著标志，那么评估非洲国家的警务工作就成为评估国家主权程度的一个现成方法。由于国家警察无法在乌干达和塞拉利昂的城市地区提供充分的安全保障，警察机构出现了多样化。本文将探讨州警察以外的各种选择。它审查了谁是授权和提供这种多选择的警务;如何有效和问责的不同授权者/警务提供者;乌干达和塞拉利昂之间有什么对比，为什么？它认为，根据国家在其领土边界内提供法律和秩序以及控制犯罪的能力，这两个国家的主权即使不是支离破碎的，也肯定是脆弱的。然而，由于历史原因，这两种新出现的主权模式并不完全相同。
If the use of violence or the threat of it within society is such a distinguishing mark of sovereignty, then evaluating policing in African states becomes a ready method of evaluating the degree of state sovereignty. Faced with the inability of the state police to provide full security in the urban areas of Uganda and Sierra Leone, there has been a diversification of policing agencies. This paper will explore the range of options available beyond the state police. It examines who is authorising and delivering this multi-choice policing; how effective and accountable the different authorisers/ providers of policing are; and what contrasts are there between Uganda and Sierra Leone and why? It finds that on the basis of the state ability to provide law and order and crime control within its territorial boundaries, sovereignty is certainly weak if not fragmented in the two countries. However, for historical reasons the two emerging patterns of sovereignty are not identical.
