The idea of ???police occupational culture??? or ???cop culture???
has been a source of academic interest and debate since research
into policing began in earnest in the 1960s. ???Police culture???
has become a lens through which a number of aspects of the police
and policing more broadly have been studied, including the use of
discretion, police corruption, institutional racism, sexism and
police reform. For the most part, these studies have been done in
topical isolation from each other and have focused rather narrowly
on Anglo-American state policing forms. Using studies from
Australia, Britain, the United States, Africa and Canada, this book
offers a contemporary look at police culture from an international
perspective by questioning established silos in topics, by
presenting new ways of thinking about police culture and suggesting
forms that police culture is likely to take in the future. In
revisiting the meaning of police culture in the light of key
developments in the field of policing, including the pluralization
of policing governance and delivery, new management practices and
the increased diversification and representation within police
organizations, the chapters in this book offer both explanatory and
normative approaches to the topic. The chapters also point to new
topics in police cultural studies, such as the impact of tertiary
education opportunities on police culture, police unions as
counter-cultural groupings, the coming together of private and
public policing cultures, and the impact of new identity groupings
on police organizational culture.
In "Everything I Know: Lessons for Life, Love, and Laughter," author Megan O'Neill shares stories about one of the most influential people in her life: her grandfather, Elmer Marocco. From lessons in what good music is, to how to make the perfect roasted red peppers, to what it means to love and be loved, this is a collection of stories that spans twenty-two years' worth of companionship, adventures, and the occasional bout of mischief.
A humorous and heartfelt collection of tales of personal experiences with baseball in Pittsburgh, and reflections on what baseball represents and means, both in general and in one fan's life. O'Neill's first book combines two of her greatest loves - Pittsburgh baseball and storytelling - and seeks to remind readers of their own happy memories of a balmy afternoon in the stands of a baseball stadium.
