It is written for the beginning student in law enforcement, criminology and corrections, sociology, social welfare, governemtn, and urban affairs who needs an understanding of the criminal law as a means of social control. Because it gives an over-view of the criminal justice process, the book is also valuable to law students who all too often complete their legal education without consideration of the criminal justice system as a system, though such consideration could well preface their in-depth study of the law." ---- from the Preface.

This volume in the Criminal Justice Monograph series, is presented as the first study of Black police officers in Texas. The 1969 study, The Negro Law Enforcement Officer in Texas, was influenced by the Civil Rights Movement and the racial discrimination present in Southern institutions, including police departments, during that period. It identified a pattern in the hiring of Black police officers correlated with a jurisdiction's environment and size, also noting several advantages to employing them. The study concluded that the employment of Black police officers provided practical advantages for community relations beyond symbolic representation. These advantages included providing "special competence" in dealing with minority groups and reducing stereotypes and prejudice among citizens.
