Description
Problems of Law Enforcement provides contemporary scholarship for students interested in learning about law enforcement and the interface between police and the people they serve. This anthology, which contains articles that are both scholarly and accessible, is a unique addition to the field of policing. The chapters offer a range of approaches, including empirical tests of law enforcement practices, treatment of cutting edge issues in a diverse workforce and in the post-911 world, and the contemporary treatment of social problems that affect policing, such as domestic violence, the nature of police work, and an examination of how race, class and gender shape police behavior. Key features include: - Coverage of both classic police readings and contemporary issues.
- Essays from a diverse assortment of well-known authors and prominent scholars.
- Selections are written in an accessible language to promote student comprehension. Susan L. Miller (Ph.D., University of Maryland) is Professor of Sociology and Criminal Justice at the University of Delaware and the author or co-author of numerous articles and books, including Victims as Offenders: The Paradox of Women's Violence in Relationships (Rutgers University Press), and Gender and Community Policing: Walking the Talk (Northeastern University Press). She publishes in the areas of criminal justice policy, gender and social control, violence against women, and victimology. Ivan Y. Sun (Ph.D., State University of New York at Albany) is Associate Professor of Sociology and Criminal Justice at the University of Delaware.
