Virtuous Policing: Bridging America's Gulf Between Police and Populace

By David G. Bolgiano

Book Overview

In the wake of recent controversies such as events in Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, Maryland, this book presents strategies to ease rising tensions in citizen-law enforcement relations due to a number of factors that include the press and new technologies. It examines law enforcement policies, procedures, and leadership methods in relation to four cardinal virtues: self-control, justice, competency, and moral courage. It provides solutions to minimizing or avoiding future violent confrontations between citizens and police that are reasonable, practical, and, most importantly, peaceful.
