About this title

Synopsis

Perspectives on Policing: Critical Conversations and Contemporary Issues provides students with a carefully curated selection of articles that effectively speak to pertinent issues within contemporary law enforcement and policing. The scholarly readings are intended to spark meaningful discussion and critical thought as students analyze and react to modern challenges and thought-provoking perspectives.

The book is divided into five sections. Part I provides students with a brief history and review of the major movements and initiatives in police development. In Part II, articles discuss the education and training of police officers. Part III addresses the intersection of race and policing, outlining contemporary considerations and changes in policy in response to this timely issue. In Part IV, students explore the realities of rural policing and the need for organizational change in small town police departments. The final part is dedicated to police behavior, including possible explanations for why some police engage in corrupt behaviors, as well as possible solutions.

Timely, concise, and featuring scholarship from leading experts within the discipline, Perspectives on Policing is an exemplary resource for courses in law enforcement and policing at all academic levels.
