Outrageous comedy starring Seann William Scott and Billy Bob
Thornton. Jon Farley (Scott), a self-help author returns to his
hometown to discover that his mother (Susan Sarandon) has fallen in
love with his old high school nemesis, Mr Woodcock (Thornton), the
gruff, no-nonsense gym teacher who put him through years of mental
and physical humiliation. Determined to prevent history from
repeating itself, John sets out to stop his mother from marrying
the man who made life miserable for him and his classmates.
Explores how policing students and police officers might apply
theory to tackle dilemmas demonstrated through true to life
scenarios. Relevant for those undertaking the Professional Policing
degree, Apprenticeships or the Degree Holder Entry Programme, as
well as their academic and work-based educators, it examines the
complexities faced on a daily basis by frontline officers. A
range of fictional realistic case studies are presented in order to
highlight contemporary challenges in the modern policing landscape.
These are unpicked through discussion and reflective questions,
exploring how decisions are made based on theoretical understanding
and practical considerations in context. Key themes within these
scenarios include procedural justice, legitimacy, organisational
culture, prioritisation of workload, objectivity and neutrality,
human rights and values. The book provides students and their
educators with the opportunities to discuss policing dilemmas and
decision-making in a safe space.
