Robin Williams, Peter Dinklage and Mila Kunis star in this comedy
drama directed by Phil Alden Robinson. Henry Altmann (Williams), a
cynical and curmudgeonly Brooklynite, undergoes a drastic
transformation when he is mistakenly told by Dr. Sharon Gill
(Kunis) he only has 90 minutes to live. Desperate to make amends
with the people closest to him before he dies, he leaves the
doctor's surgery frantically and sets off on a path of redemption.
Meanwhile, Sharon, who has realised her mistake but has become
aware of a potentially life-threatening brain aneurysm, tries to
track Henry down to get him into care.
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.
