The police are perhaps the most visible representation of
government. They are charged with what has been characterized as an
"impossible" mandate-control and prevent crime, keep the peace,
provide public services-and do so within the constraints of
democratic principles. The police are trusted to use deadly force
when it is called for and are allowed access to our homes in cases
of emergency. In fact, police departments are one of the few
government agencies that can be mobilized by a simple phone call,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are ubiquitous within our
society, but their actions are often not well understood. The
Oxford Handbook of Police and Policing brings together research on
the development and operation of policing in the United States and
elsewhere. Accomplished policing researchers Michael D. Reisig and
Robert J. Kane have assembled a cast of renowned scholars to
provide an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the
institution of policing. The different sections of the Handbook
explore policing contexts, strategies, authority, and issues
relating to race and ethnicity. The Handbook also includes reviews
of the research methodologies used by policing scholars and
considerations of the factors that will ultimately shape the future
of policing, thus providing persuasive insights into why and how
policing has developed, what it is today, and what to expect in the
future. Aimed at a wide audience of scholars and students in
criminology and criminal justice, as well as police professionals,
the Handbook serves as the definitive resource for information on
this important institution.
