Contemporary Issues in Law Enforcement and Policing

Rising terrorism and advancing technology, as well as new strategies and investigative techniques, have expanded the traditional role of police officers. The new officer is under increased pressure to be tough, compassionate, and understanding, as well as technologically savvy. Exploring themes of day to-day policing, ethics and corruption, terrorism, strategy and investigations, and restorative policing, this volume focuses on the issues that most affect today’s officers. The chapters are derived from those articles in the online journal Police Practice and Research that were the most viewed by practicing police officers and police scholars.
