Publisher's Synopsis
Policing America addresses the greatest challenges in the field today, from policing a diverse society to reexamining policing methods. By challenging you to vicariously experience the job of the officer, the authors lend a real-world take reflective of the changing times we live in. Reinforcing the real-world angle, the text includes case studies profiling real police success stories related to complex criminal justice issues. Exhibits describing police methods and news items offer timely, topical insight. You'll also get a comparative view into how policing works in other countries.
Throughout the 10th Edition, the theme of "what works" is reinforced in new cases, new exercises and updated information. You'll also have opportunities to think critically, problem-solve and prepare to confront the challenges of policing in our age.
This version of Policing America features the same content as the traditional bound text in a convenient, 3-hole-punched, loose-leaf format.
