The guiding theme of this book is that integrity in police work is essential to viable and effective law enforcement. This is discussed in Section 1 along with how to oversee and control the behavior and actions of police. Section 2 presents case studies from several countries where police violations of citizens¹ human dignity have been particularly egregious. Section 3 contains four chapters which detail past and current efforts to prevent police abuse, including police departmental initiatives and strategies, governmental endeavors through the courts and laws, efforts of nongovernmental organizations such as the United Nations and the role of the press. Section 4 is the core of the book and describes in detail the John Jay College human dignity course, the learning approach taken, the philosophical assumptions, and the model which emerged so that the reader can obtain an understanding of how the course operates. Chapters in this section also discuss the role of the trainer, the course as change agent, and human dignity training in the broader context of police training generally and community policing in particular. This book is most important because it presents positive and effective steps that can be taken to change the culture of policing through carefully constructed, appropriate training and individual development. The audience for this book begins with the police - training academies; managers; local, state, and federal police departments. It would also be an excellent supplementary text in college courses on policing, criminal justice ethics, and comparative policing. In addition, the book would be appropriate for policymakers as well as the general public with concerns about policing in their communities.
