The Police in America provides a comprehensive introduction to the foundations of policing in the United States today. Descriptive and analytical, the text is designed to offer undergraduate students a balanced and up-to-date overview of who the police are and what they do, the problems they face, and the many reforms and innovations that have taken place in policing. Using timely articles and excerpts, the authors take readers beyond the headlines and statistics to present a comprehensive and contemporary overview of what it means to be a police officer.

Title: Book is great... shipping was not good.
Review: This book is well written for the lay person to understand a myriad of law enforcement challenges. Very easy read with individual and group study guides (I read it in two days). I believe it to be over-priced, but what isn't over-priced in today's economy? About the shipping... I was NOT pleased. The package arrived open with no invoice and the exterior of the book dog-eared. No time to return it to Amazon, as I am preparing for university classes that start next month.The book gets 5:5 rating; the shipping gets 1:5 rating, I will likely not order my books from Amazon.

Title: Great overview on past, present, and future aspects of policing!
Review: I had to purchase this book for one of my classes and I found it to be extremely interesting and well written. It is very easy to read and understand. The author does a great job of presenting material in such a manner where he uses past events to explain current police issues and how current issues are being used as guides to future police standards.

Title: Book repeats itself.
Review: The book is interesting at first, but then it repeats itself towards the end. I am not sure why it repeats itself so much, but it does and it is kind of annoying.
