As a former Police officer withy 31yrs prior experience, I was able to look at this book both objectively and also with an open mind. I found it easy to read, topical, up to date (which is most important) and it contained a positive plethora of important and relevant information which would prove extremely useful to any recruit or applicant as well as a very resourceful study aid for those engaged in Police studies.
A good basic book I will be basing some of the lecture material on for introduction to policing and will be informing BNU library to put it on the course reading list.
Useful for its comprehensive coverage and up to date.
An excellent introductory textbook for my introduction to policing module.
Very concise and understandable for 2nd year undergraduates and above.
An engaging read. I would highly recommend for anyone interested in the police force who requires a comprehensive overview of historic policing methods and the challenges the police face in modern society.
This is a good overview of some key policing issues.
The book gives a good insight into Policing, which is essential for our students
This book provides a comprehensive and clear insight into contemporary policing
Excellent reading, suitable for the level of my students. I have put it on the recommended reading list.
