Review
"This book represents one of the very top books on the market... If I were to teach a contemporary policing class with a problem-solving focus, I would undoubtedly use this one. No other book competes with this one on that level." -- Dr. Quint Thurman, Department of Criminal Justice, Wichita State University

Better than most Community Policing texts,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Community Policing and Problem Solving: Strategies and Practices (6th Edition) (Paperback)
I am now preparing for the Lieutenant's promotional exam and this is required reading. My department has frequently changed the community policing textbook so this is the third book on the subject I've been forced to read. By far, this is the best book of the three. It is not insulting or too much of the "hug a thug" mentality. It is well written and organized. I can't foresee anyone reading it for pleasure or casual reading, but it's not too painful if you must read it.
