5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone interested in modern law enforcement, August 28, 2002

By	Marion E. Gold "Book Author & Editorial Writer" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Understanding Today's Police (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

The nature of law enforcement is a work in progress that changes with the needs of society. The best examples of this are the concept of community policing and the expanded role of women in law enforcement. This book gives an excellent view of both...and more. It's application of theory to the real world makes it stand out among other books on the practice of law enforcement. It is must reading not only for students of law enforcement, but for community leaders in towns and cities of all sizes, and everyone interested in the practical aspects of the criminal justice system.
