This book provides a comprehensive and evenhanded summary of
historical and contemporary perspectives on ideological extremism
in law enforcement and its wider impacts on American society. A mix
of narrative overview, biographies, essay perspectives, and a
helpful guide to other resources to facilitate understanding of the
contemporary problem of extremism in American law enforcement.
Written by experts in the criminal justice field, the authors draw
from various sources to highlight for the reader the extent,
motivations, causes, and dangers of ideological extremism in the
ranks of America's police, from the smallest towns to the biggest
cities. In addition, it discusses reforms that have been
proposed—and in some cases implemented—to combat the problem,
including measures introduced in other countries. Providing
wide-ranging, even-handed, and comprehensive coverage, this
one-stop resource contains everything students need to know to
understand the issue's many dimensions—as well as the
ramifications of extremism in the police ranks of the American
communities that police officers are sworn to serve and protect.
