The Contemporary Law Enforcement Anthology: Challenges and Opportunities for Today's Officers provides students with a carefully selected collection of readings that address issues related to the professional workforce in law enforcement. The text emphasizes that people are behind the policies, practices, and laws in our communities, and as such, it is critical to hire well-qualified and diverse candidates who have a desire and passion for public service.
The anthology examines the importance of developing a recruiting system for new practitioners in the field of criminal justice. Dedicated chapters cover the progression of diversity in the workforce, ethics and integrity, trends in data-driven law enforcement, community policing and problem-solving policing, and transnational crime and terrorism. The final chapter features readings that discuss contemporary and future trends in law enforcement, including big data, the Fourth Amendment, and secrecy, subpoenas, and surveillance. At the close of each chapter, discussion questions encourage reflection, dialogue, and learning.
The Contemporary Law Enforcement Anthology is an exemplary resource for courses in law enforcement administration, policing, and criminal justice.
