Reviews for Police and Society

Police and Society is well established, well written, accessible to students, and covers many of the issues I find important in this course. The content is current and focused on the legal and organizational issues that structure and constrain the challenges we see in policing. It is probably as good as any text I've used in 20-plus years of teaching this class. I've looked at other texts, but none were better suited to my approach. * Joseph Schafer, Saint Louis University * I've been using Police and Society for years and have never received a negative comment from a student. They get a lot of writing experience simply by following the book chapter by chapter, and I am certain that they finish the course with a robust understanding of the issues in policing. Nicely done! * John Krimmel, The College of New Jersey *
