Description

This text is a comprehensive presentation of what police do and how, with emphasis on critical thinking, problem solving, and community involvement. The authors incorporate the latest research on patrol techniques, cultural diversity, and changes in police administration policy. This book goes beyond the traditional focus on the patrol function of policing, but is still geared toward the student pursuing a career in law enforcement.
