Recognizing that communities and law enforcement professionals hold differing perceptions and beliefs, Searching for Common Ground: Seeking Justice and Understanding in Police and Community Relations illuminates not only how these two parties may disagree, but also what they might agree upon. The text underscores how greater levels of understanding between these groups can help them build trust, enjoy productive exchanges of ideas, and develop meaningful solutions to pressing societal problems.

The text is designed to help readers learn about and constructively address key legal, policy, and practical topics and issues that define police-citizen relations, including the use of force by police, police discretion, search and seizure, and social issues related to racism, bias, and inequality. Over the course of 10 chapters, readers examine the history and development of modern policing in the U.S., constitutional limits on government, issues regarding the abuse of power, the militarization of the police, community policing practices, and more.

Searching for Common Ground is an essential, timely resource designed to support and inspire constructive dialogue, understanding, and practices among the police and public communities. The text is ideal for use in courses on policing, law enforcement, and criminal justice.
