Introduction to Law Enforcement (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

With contributions by nine authors offering a diverse presentation, this volume is designed for a one-semester course in law enforcement and policing. Rather than addressing these topics from a linear perspective, it presents discussions regarding both private and public entities. Topics include contemporary crime trends, policing ethics, law enforcement history, the functions of modern law enforcement agencies, homeland security, and human resources. The book follows the path of a case from arrest through incarceration and post-release and presents issues related to local, state, regional, federal, and tribal law enforcement agencies.
