Contemporary policing

Contemporary Policing: Personnel, Issues, and Trends is an edited volume that provides students with a complete picture of current policing issues. The collection draws on the ideas of several well-known academics and scholars. Arranged thematically, this text fully covers the standard topics in the field, including stress, education and training, professional ethics, community policing, and use of force. It then goes a step further than traditional texts to cover current topics such as women in policing, minority groups, criminal analysis, and technological changes. The chapters are concise, clearly written, and combine rich frameworks with illustrations drawn from real experience.
