This is a comprehensive, introductory survey of police, police work, and police systems intended for criminal justice courses on police administration, and courses on criminology or the sociology of law enforcement. It describes how police departments are organized, what police officers do, the different problems in policing (police-community relations, use of discretion, police corruption, etc) how individuals enter policing as a career and what happens to them during the course of their careers. There are three new chapters on community policing, police and crime, and peacekeeping and order maintenance.

From the Publisher:
"Researching Your Own Community" exercises contain instructions for students on consulting local police agencies to collect information that corresponds to issues highlighted in the text.
"Police on the Web" exercises effectively reinforce chapter concepts and facilitate comprehension by directing students to law enforcement agency web sites that explore major themes found in the text.
Updated material throughout, including books and articles published in late 1997 and 1998.
Chapters devoted to the specific duties of an officer and the problems officers may encounter as a member of the police organization help to give students an understanding of what it means to be a law enforcement officer in contemporary American society.
Exposes students to the basic positions on both sides of important issues, such as community policing, citizen review, and affirmative action.
