Police Ethics: Crisis in Law Enforcement

"This third edition has been comprehensively revised, expanding the information in the previous edition on the long-standing challenge of implementing effective, responsible, and acceptable practices in ethical police work. The author's unique perspective provides insights not found elsewhere and presents them in an informative, fact-filled, and encouraging way. The text is based on the premise that ethical crisis has always existed in law enforcement and stresses that policing is and always has been a 'morally dangerous occupation.' The moral dangers of policing are discussed in detail and emphasize how crucial ethical standards are for police officers. Four critical and primary questions addressed in the text are: Is law enforcement a profession? Can law enforcement officers be professional? What forms of behavior are the major law enforcement ethical violations? Can police ethical violations be controlled? Several chapters also thoroughly review the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics and include very up-to-date examples of notable violations by individual officers and police departments. Additional topics include major police corruption issues, including corrupt practices and corruption control; abuse of authority; and getting effective control of unethical behavior. The goal of this timely new edition is to provide officers, law enforcement managers, and city administrators with only the most current information, tools, and skills in identifying and dealing with unethical police behavior. It is valuable to both new and seasoned officers in a significant effort to make policing a true profession that is real and not rhetoric"--Provided by publisher.

Emergency Vehicle Operations: Emergency Calls and Pursuit Driving

From the preface: "few law enforcement tasks involve more danger - to officers and third parties - and the likelihood of civil liability than the emergency vehicle operations. Answering emergency calls and engaging in pursuit requires that the officer be adequately trained, properly supervised, and directed (and restricted) by policies, procedures, and rules. The days of unrestricted emergency vehicle operations, especially high-speed pursuits, by law enforcement officers, are over. The cost benefit analysis for every pursuit is reached by answering three questions that guide every pursuit: when to pursue, what to do during a pursuit, and when to abandon a pursuit. Ultimately, the need for a pursuit and the continuation of a pursuit once it has begun rests with the termination equation - justification for the pursuit balanced against the need for immediate apprehension and the risks involved."

Ethics & Professional Responsibility

This volume is the first devoted exclusively to North American adult criminal gangs and how these gangs often cooperate in criminal pursuits with one another within and across national borders. North American Criminal Gangs demonstrates that adult criminal gangs are more than a United States problem; they are an international problem requiring combined and coordinated solutions among and between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Specifically, the text addresses: street gangs (Los Angeles- and Chicago-based/influenced gangs, Canadian Aboriginal gangs, and the international super street gangs such as MS 13 and the 18th Street Gang); prison gangs (including the Mexican Mafia, Aryan Brotherhood, and Public Enemy Number 1); outlaw motorcycle gangs; and drug-trafficking organizations. North American Criminal Gangs documents that American-based motorcycle gangs, such as the Hells Angels, Bandidos, Outlaws, Mongols, and Vagos, have expanded their criminal networks internationally, including Europe, Canada, and Mexico. The text provides ample photos and images that allow the reader to see the gangs' symbols and other identifiers.
