Contemporary Issues in Policing: Foundational Readings provides
students with insights into modern challenges and opportunities
within law enforcement and policing. The first reading in the
collection introduces students to the function of the police, the
various levels of law enforcement, and the evolution of American
policing. Additional readings explore the demographic make-up of
America's law enforcement agencies; the difficulties facing the
field with regard to recruiting, hiring, and retaining officers
with minority status; how police departments select, train, and
supervise their officers; and various models of police behavior.
Students read about the controversy surrounding the police use of
discretion, the complex issue of police use of force, the various
types of misconduct and corruption that can occur in the field of
policing, and the importance of investigating civilian complaints
against the police. The final reading underscores the importance of
change in the field of policing. Throughout, pre- and post-reading
questions engage students and encourage critical thinking. A
critical resource for today's students, Contemporary Issues in
Policing is an ideal resource for courses in law enforcement and
policing.
