"The author, a law professor and former deputy sheriff, discusses
the problems attending the extensive discretion given to police
officers on the job. The book focuses primarily on the decision to
arrest and on the development of the mechanisms to control the
discretionary nature of that decision. Convinced that individual
prejudices can and do play a part in arrest decisions, Professor
Williams evaluates alternatives designed to produce impartial and
controlled law enforcement. He concludes that only through the
collective efforts of the police, state and local government
officials, and the judiciary can effective guidelines be formulated
and implemented." Harvard Law Review
