POLICE IN AMERICA, by Steven G. Brandl, provides a comprehensive and down-to earth introduction to modern policing. Utilizing important research as a basis for its discussions, it promotes critical thinking while using rich, current examples that connect research with everyday police practices. POLICE IN AMERICA focuses on critical questions inherent in understanding the very difficult mandate thrust upon police in America: what is good policing? It tackles important issues, such as discretion, police use of force, and the tough ethical and moral dilemmas facing police today. With engaging writing, contemporary examples, and research-driven discussion, this text takes students through the real world of policing in America today. Focusing on good policing and what works instead of what doesn't work, POLICE IN AMERICA covers discretion and ethics more than most comparable texts. With applied and engaging features, such as a Good Policing box that highlights examples of policing done right and Research Spotlights that present critical research findings related to policing so students can draw evidence-based conclusions, this text encourages students to think more deeply about the material and to apply the content in innovative ways.
