I had to study this book for an upper management promotion test with a major police department. Although some of the material wasn't relevant to my department, it did have a lot of information that was useful. The book is an easy read for the most part and the chapter reviews were very useful. I would recommend a study guide. By the way...I passed the test.
... But 8th editions need relentless editorial review and checks for consistencies. Too many minor errors and inconsistencies to merit that fifth star. These authors know their books are being used for promotional tests... So lots of lists and lots of qualifiers. This is all part of the industry... Aggravating, but part of the game. The book covers the main theories and provides a solid general introduction to Police Administration.
Actually a very balanced review of law enforcment. I found a could typoes while reading it, but nothing that detracts from the message. It appears the book took pains to avoid appearing politically in any direction. I highly recommend it.
since theres no question remarks for books.. Is the eighth edition any different from the ninth? I feel my professor mocked me to spend more money on the ninth edition. Also when will the publish release the ninth edition in e textbook format? Thank youNicee
The text is a very good source of researched and quantified information covering the history and present use of administration concepts for police departments and law enforcement agencies in America.
I paid for a new text book and received a USED one. It was marked up with pencil on several pages. So someone else used it before. It is not new. I need the book and cannot return it. I would like to get a refund but doesn't provide a method to contact the seller.
Too much informatoin crammed into one resource. Their are some opinions in here disguished as facts. Becareful. I wouldn't buy it, but I needed it for class. Has some decent information in it.
Read it if you have to for school. I would not recommend it otherwise. It is hard to stay focused on.
