Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Legal knowledge tells an officer what they're allowed to do. It says nothing about how to get the truth out of someone who doesn't want to give it up.Human Relations and Advanced Investigative Techniques is the professional core of the American Street Law series - and the most distinctive book on the market for working investigators. Written by a retired police chief and FBI National Academy graduate, it combines humanistic policing philosophy, interview science, interrogation strategy, and the psychology of confession in a single practitioner volume grounded entirely in real cases.Inside, you'll master: - Why human relations - not legal authority - is an investigator's primary tool, and how economic culture shapes the way people communicate with police- A complete, field-ready interview protocol: planning, rapport, questioning sequence, and adaptations for witnesses, victims, and suspects- The nonverbal communication skills that separate a credibility assessment from a guess - and why even skilled investigators can't reliably detect deception- The psychology of why suspects confess, including all eleven neutralization techniques offenders use to rationalize what they've done - and how investigators recognize and work with each one- How to build a case file that survives contact with a prosecutor, defense counsel, and cross-examination - from the first interview to the witness standNothing else available combines this level of depth with this much real practitioner experience behind it. Every technique is illustrated with case examples from an actual investigative career, not hypotheticals.For detectives, investigators, supervisors, and criminal justice faculty who want to move from competent to genuinely excellent at the investigative function.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The job of the police cannot be done in a free society if the people can see what the police sometimes have to do to maintain order.' Egon Bittner Long before anyone ever heard about 'Community Oriented Policing,' law enforcement officers were of a different breed. They didn't engage in complex 'Problem Solving,' they simply identified the individual responsible for the problem and took action, sometimes brutal action, to fix it. They saw themselves as warriors on crime and protectors of their communities. Criminal perpetrators were the enemy, a threat to public safety and a plague on innocent law-abiding citizens. The professional law enforcement officer prowled the streets seeking out criminal prey and provided an authoritarian omni-presence that deterred criminal behavior. This is the first book in a series that explores the complexities and nuisances of policing and law enforcement prior to the current 'war on cops.' Here the main characters are introduced and developed who will be featured in subsequent books in this series. First there is Jim Murphy, a new rookie officer who faces the life changing challenges of gaining respect and acceptance into the policing sub-culture. He becomes infatuated with a more experienced woman, Melissa Rhodes who dumps her abusive and controlling husband and begins a new career as a police officer, surprising everyone with her resilience. There is Mike Temple, a no nonsense street cop who instills fear in the criminal element and confidence in those who appreciate a more direct approach to maintaining order. Joe McCann is a veteran and wise detective commander who knows exactly how to play the game of 'cat and mouse' with a the dirt-bags who roam his streets and a justice system that often impedes his efforts. Byron Crawford is the new police chief, a competent and dedicated law enforcement leader who directs the agency, disciplines his officers well, and wrestles with a mayor who is more concerned with maintaining his power than doing what is best for the community. He runs afoul of an ambitions U.S. Attorney out to make a name for herself using racial tension to her advantage. Bert Lowell is an old time street cop who has his own way of doing things, he's not interested in adapting to new realities, he has his ways of getting things done and is admired for his tough minded street sence.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Your rights as a citizen, what police officers are sworn to uphold and must thoroughly understand. What can they actually do to you - and what are your rights when it happens Most people learn what they think they know about their rights from television. The Constitution on the Street is the real version - written by an educator, and retired police chief who spent nearly three decades on both sides of the badge, and just as long teaching the next generation of officers the law that governs the job. This is the entry point to the American Street Law series: a plain-English handbook filled with stories illustrating what police can and cannot do, when your rights attach, and what happens when officers cross the line - built entirely on real cases, not classroom theory. Inside, you'll learn: - The three categories of every police encounter - voluntary contact, investigative stop, and arrest - and why the difference determines everything that follows- What 'reasonable suspicion' and 'probable cause' actually require, explained through real stories instead of legal jargon- When police can search you, your car, or your home - and the warrant exceptions that matter most- What Miranda really means, and why silence is often the smartest response- What to do - and not do - the moment you're stopped- How police, prosecutors, and defense attorneys actually work together, and where the system succeeds and failsWritten like the smart friend who happens to be a retired chief and universtiy professor explaining your rights across the fence - no lecturing, no filler, just what you actually need to know before, during, and after an encounter with police. For citizens, students, community members, and officers who want to understand the law better, what they can do, not just what they can't, without the legal speak.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Most officers learn the law as a list of things they can't do. The best officers learn it as an edge.The Lawful Edge is the professional bridge in the American Street Law series - the same constitutional framework from Volume 1, taken to the full working depth a patrol officer, detective, or criminal justice student actually needs to make cleaner stops, build stronger cases, and avoid the mistakes that sink them. Not simplified for citizens. Not stripped down for rookies. Built to hold up in a report, at a suppression hearing, and on the witness stand.Written by a retired police chief and FBI National Academy graduate with nearly three decades of law enforcement experience and just as long training officers in the classroom, this volume treats the law as what it actually is for the officer who masters it: a professional advantage.Inside, you'll find the definitive treatment of: - The authority continuum - voluntary contact, investigative stop, and arrest - and the legal standard each one requires- Use of force and the qualified immunity doctrine that officers consistently misunderstand, in both directions- Search and seizure law - the warrant requirement and every exception that matters in day-to-day police work- The Fifth and Sixth Amendments - Miranda, the right to counsel, where the two are confused, and the strategic advantage of the voluntary contact- How police, prosecutors, and defense attorneys actually see the same case file differently - why that friction is the system working as designed, and how to write reports and testimony that survive the suppression hearingEvery chapter is grounded in real cases from a real career, with the legal citations and case law an officer needs to build cases that survive contact with a prosecutor and defense counsel doing their jobs.For working officers, supervisors, and criminal justice students who want to use the law as a professional edge - not just stay on the right side of it.…
