Publisher's Synopsis
Providing an analysis of how police are organized and how they operate within the Australian context, this book is divided into two parts. One part is on police organizational issues, which includes chapters on women in policing and police productivity and effectiveness, and one on the delivery of police service. The latter covers topics from drug law enforcement to police support for victims - from policing ethnic minorities to the role of the community within the overall strategy of community policing. The text has been edited by police educators specifically for police recruits (not criminology students).
