This comprehensive core text provides an overview of law enforcement topics, integrating major empirical findings and theory-based research findings in the field with a thorough analysis of contemporary policing problems.
The issues-oriented discussion focuses on critical concerns facing American police, including personnel systems, organization and management, operations, discretion, use of force, culture and behavior, ethics and deviance, civil liability, and police-community relations.
Features expanded coverage of police in the criminal justice system, police stress and suicide issues, police sexual violence, and women in policing.
A critical assessment of police history and the role politics played in the development of American police institutions is offered, and greater discussion of future and technology issues in policing is presented. A new section has been added on "racial profiling" and "driving while black."
Contemporary news articles are incorporated throughout the text to further illustrate the policing perspectives highlighted, and current data from dozens of new studies in policing are included.
The book is further enhanced with photographs, updated links to World Wide Web sites, and a more extensive glossary of key terms. This popular text remains a unique resource for today's law enforcement curriculum.
