ReviewsI very much appreciate the expansive focus on race/ethnicity and gender and how this impact police-citizen relations... Overall I was very satisfied with this coverage and found that it filled many important gaps from other similar texts., Policing: The Essentials is a peer reviewed examination of current police administrative policy and procedures. The text begins with historical information and ends with the future of policing. I highly recommend the text.
