I had to read this book for a college course in criminal justice concerning community oriented policing. I also have met Mr. Carlson in person and I can tell you, the man knows what he is talking about.

The book primarily deals with where the police culture and society (the many cultures thereof) may differ, as you may have surmised from the title. This should be a must read for everyone working in law enforcement or in any social service capacity. It wouldn't be a bad idea for anyone trying to understand police or thinking of going into law enforcement to read either. The book approaches each concept as if speaking to two audiences, law enforcement and everyone else.
