Handbook of Police Administration

By Ruíz

Covering areas such as leadership in policing, use of force, and legislative impact on police practice, this volume examines the key topics that must be considered by modern law enforcement professionals. Divided into five thematic sections, it considers legal and ethical aspects, as well as how research, technology, and training can assist in more effective and efficient performance. The book covers problematic issues such as officers accepting gratuities, discrimination, professional courtesies, undercover work, and organized crime. It concludes with a chapter comparing U.S. protocol to Australian methods.
