Police at Work: Policy Issues and Analysis

Book Overview

Three major issues often dominate current discussions among researchers and professionals concerned with the police: What are the efects of the police working environment on individual officers? How can police performance be measured? How do police practices affect the delivery of service -- and how are these services viewed by community members? These issues -- and such specific topics as police stress, personnel attrition, and the role of dispatchers in service delivery -- are explored here in eight original essays.
