Police Administration
Synopsis
This is a revision of the classic text in police
administration. James Fyfe, Jack Greene and Bill Walsh have revised the
work of the late authors, Wilson and McLaren. Thorough updating of all
information in response to user reviews has been done with a special
emphasis placed on community-based policing. The revision combines the
"nuts and bolts" approach of the original text with theory in a
way that makes the text more accessible to students and practitioners than
its competitors.
Book Description

admiration and market share than O.W. Wilson's "Police
Administration". Now Wilson's text has been revised by three top
scholars in the field. This long awaited revision combines the nuts and
bolts approach of the original with an up-to-date theoretical and policy
perspective that makes it accessible to students and practitioners alike.

Law Enforcement in the 21st Century
Think Link!
Linking Law Enforcement Agencies
Law Enforcement in the 21st Century is the first book to examine the
“linkage blindness” in the criminal justice system—the lack of
information sharing among various law enforcement jurisdictions, as well
as the rest of the criminal justice system.
Linking Theory to Practice
This exciting new book highlights the important connections between theory
and practice with extended discussions devoted to problem-solving and
crime mapping applications.
Linking the Student to Proactive Policing Models
The text constantly engages the reader in thinking critically about the
role of law enforcement within changing global contexts, and the extent to
which public security interests should and/or do outweigh the personal
liberties we value so strongly as a society.
The authors offer a fresh, new approach to presenting introductory
law enforcement material that is both practical for the future law
enforcement officer and intellectually rewarding for the reader entering a
whole new field of study. Rather than the standard presentation of the
material, this text is organized in a developmental framework:
- Part I introduces readers to law enforcement's place within the
criminal justice system, the origins of policing as a profession, and
traditional models of policing.
- Part II covers core aspects of police work, such as
organizational structure and units, field operations, and
investigations.
- Part III discusses major challenges in policing, including
discussions of corruption and use of force, discretion, and
multicultural policing.
- Part IV includes an expansive overview of community policing and
important new technological applications that are currently
transforming the nature of law enforcement. The authors then look
ahead to proactive strategy development in a practical way with
specific case examples, as well as theoretical insights, woven
throughout.
