Leadership in Education, Corrections and Law Enforcement: A
Commitment to Ethics, Equity and Excellence fills a unique gap in
the knowledge base - the juncture between leadership, ethics, law,
and how public institutions/organizations understand and practice
the essence of all three. Authors from law enforcement, corrections
education, and educational leadership present different yet
overlapping constructs around ethics and law, and make an important
step towards reconciling these differing views to demonstrate the
significance of collaboration and partnerships for a common
purpose.
Law Enforcement Communication: Essential Skills for Solving Crimes,
Managing Difficult People, and Improving Officer Safety helps law
enforcement officers improve their communication skills with
diverse populations and difficult people. The book is founded on
the premise that the better an officer is at communicating with
others, the safer and more effective the officer will be in all
areas of law enforcement. The skills in this book apply equally to
all law enforcement professionals, regardless of their rank,
assignment, or responsibilities. Officers rely on good human
relations skills to deescalate dangerous confrontations, facilitate
cooperation, and solve crimes. Readers will learn the skills and
attitudes necessary to build trust and rapport, resolve conflict,
manage emotions, gain valuable information, and deal more
effectively with difficult people. Additional chapters examine
persuasive communication, emotional intelligence, and the
importance of leadership in creating a culture of communication
excellence. Law Enforcement Communication is an enlightening and
intellectual resource well suited for courses in policing and law
enforcement. It also provides a valuable resource for working law
enforcement professionals, trainers, or anyone else interested in
improving their personal and career success.

encourage publicawareness of the causes that underlie the
destructive cycles plaguing these populations, including the abuse
and neglectthat cycle through generations. When effectively
addressed through education the economic burden on society
islightened and an advocacy to increase understanding engenders a

leadership and social justice, several issues come to mind,

criminal justice, and public health agree that social justice is
concerned with equal justice, not just in the courts, but in
