Description
This book is part of the plan to build out the successful Essentials series (Lab's Criminal Justice: The Essentials is now in a 6th edition and has core following in that segment of the market) and is envisioned as a brief treatise on policing in a similar fashion to Criminal Justice: The Essentials. It responds to a need for a more concise presentation of policing without the in-depth review of policing with all the pictures, tables and figures found in most books. This book will include the essential materials for understanding the history, development and current operations of policing in an understandable, non-complex discussion of the topics.
Reviews / Votes
The topics presented adequately cover what a student needs to know about policing. These are the essentials a student needs to know to develop an understanding of who the police are, their purpose, what they do, and why they do what they do. If the proposed text is what I think it is, then this is what I have been looking for. * Jeremiah Hicks, Lecturer at South Texas College * The strength of the text is in the simplicity... It provides succinct information that overviews the policing industry and provides students with an understanding of the policing profession. * Robert Handy, Adjunct Faculty at CSULB *More details
