Police and Society is a mainstream text for introductory policing or law enforcement courses. It strikes an ideal balance between the abstractions of research and theory and the concrete realities of a police officer's duties, grounding theoretical discussions in real-world examples. This comprehensive text also features a unique chapter on higher education and policing. Rich pedagogy enhances the learning experience with features such as "Voices from the Field" boxes, which contain interviews with law enforcement professionals and scholars.
