Police as Problem Solvers is a lively yet scholarly book written by two pioneers of the approach.

Using verbatim transcripts of officers working through problems both in the community and among their own ranks, they recount highlights of the experiment and traces its impact. justice but also for work reform because it expands the jobs of frontline workers (police officers), showing that authoritarian management is obsolete.
