解説
This book maps the development of modern policing-both theory and practice-from humans' first efforts at social control, through the British roots of modern policing, to the unique institution of American policing today.
How Americans view police has varied dramatically through history. In 1856, New York police opposed wearing uniforms because they felt it represented a militaristic and nondemocratic type of organization. Today, our police model themselves on the military and use military tactics in the "war" on drugs.
Policing in America: A Reference Handbook chronicles our changing ideas and methods of social control, beginning with the first recorded instances. It traces the trends that have shaped America's unique policing system and our fascination with police. It also examines the hot-button issues that concern police scholars today-such as the nature of the police subculture and police corruption-and details the trends and issues that will shape the future of policing. An essential reference for those interested in-and affected by-the American system of policing, which impacts us all.
- A glossary of standard policing terms, such as "blue curtain," "police subculture," "stakeout," and "forensics," allows the reader to better acquaint themselves with the law enforcement world
- A detailed list of associations and organizations in the field points readers to sources of further information
