Policing : Concepts, Strategies, and Current Issues in American Police Forces

"The second edition of Policing: Concepts, Strategies, and Current Issues in American Police Forces has been updated and revised to address the changes in policing that have occurred in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Issues such as homeland security, terrorism, and the expanded role of community policing have been addressed. However, important components in the first edition have been maintained." "Policing provides an in-depth understanding of police work: its history, trends, and strategies of administration and management. Written by a former police officer, this book offers both a practical and a conceptual view of police work and introduces readers to issues missed in other competing books on policing, such as private security and the relevance of constitutional law to police work."--BOOK JACKET.Palmiotto, Michael J. is the author of 'Policing : Concepts, Strategies, and Current Issues in American Police Forces', published 1997 under ISBN 9780890891827 and ISBN 0890891826.
