Reviews"Police & Society is a very well organized, concisely written, and well informed text that meshes professional perspectives from the field with scholarly academic research. The text is flexible in that it can be utilized by both criminal justice and non-criminal justice majors. Professors would be challenged to find a text that synthesizes a similar amount of information and research as relevant to the policing field as this one."--Jeremy G.Carter, IUPUI"An excellent presentation of policing research that does not lose sight of the realities of policing in modern America."--Willard M. Oliver, Sam Houston State University, "Police & Society is a very well organized, concisely written, and well informed text that meshes professional perspectives from the field with scholarly academic research.
