A security sector reform sounds like a very academic term and not something you often see in situations. Well, as an increase in knowledge, it is something that has happened in many places around the world, making it a step forward. What is security sector reform you may ask? It is defined as a concept that first emerged in the 1990s in Eastern Europe and generally refers to a process of reforming or reconstructing a state's security sector. It might sound like a mouth full, so it translates as a movement that a country undertakes to make it better, safer, or more beneficial for itself in today's world. The concept of security sector reform is like a gift with all kinds of little things inside. As a security sector reform, some of the many things within it consist of: ways to initiate one in transition societies; decide whether or not a country is able to achieve this reform; whether a country will attempt reform during the war or postwar; and discover the challenges and successes of reform. To begin with, each individual has an argument about the best way to go about reforming the security sector in societies in transition. As an individual, I believe it is best to build a military force that can uphold the laws and cultural beliefs of the people. John Moyibi Amoda states in the article: “the security sector reform is divided into two phases, the first phase concerns the police, the second the defense establishment in the country”. Once the country has a law enforcement system, this allows for the creation of laws that will begin to reform the country and guide it better. Take a pet for example: when trying to train a puppy it is more effective to have one authority figure rather than multiple housekeepers. If two different people tell the puppy different things, the puppy will not know or understand
