Secure TransactionBook Description
In the field of law enforcement in the United States, it is essential to know the contemporary problems being faced and combine that knowledge with empirical research and theoretical reasoning to arrive at best practices and an understanding of policing. The text opens with a critical assessment of police history and the role politics played in the development of American police institutions and concludes with consideration of such contemporary issues as globalization, terrorism, and homeland security.
Appropriate for introductory policing courses, this new edition not only offers updated research and examples, it also incorporates ways for the reader to connect to the content through learning objectives, discussion questions, and Myths and Realities of Policing boxes. Video and Internet links provide additional coverage of important issues. With completely revised and updated chapters, Policing in America, 9th Edition, provides an up-to-date examination of what to expect as a police officer in America.
