Understanding Today's Police, Fifth Edition

This edition continues to offer a consistent mix of theory and reality in a timely and understandable manner. It avoids the use of distracters, such as insets and pictures, and limits the pedagogy to discussion questions at the end of each chapter and a test bank for the instructor. Easier for students to understand than competing texts, it contains clear statements of principles without excessive baggage and helps instructors provide enough information to students to encourage independent thinking.
