Rezensionen

'In the United States at any one time, there are tens of thousands of police chiefs, and hundreds of thousands have served since American police departments were created. Among them all, the seven chiefs, plus the two scholars, featured in this book, individually and collectively, have had an outsized influence on what American policing is today. August Vollmer personally influenced O.W. Wilson, who personally influenced Herman Goldstein, who personally influenced George Kelling, who personally influenced Bill Bratton. I can attest to this intellectual inheritance because I, too, was personally influenced by Goldstein, and thus my own work as a police chief was, in attenuated but real ways, influenced by all these remarkable chiefs and scholars who preceded me and my contemporaries. For all who are interested in how our society is policed, their stories are very much worth knowing.'

Michael S. Scott, Clinical Professor and Director, Center for Problem-Oriented Policing, Arizona State University

'Professor Kooi uses the biographies of seven past and present police leaders to weave his way through the history of American policing and many of the key issues we continue to face today. His magnificent seven might or might not be the greatest police chiefs of all time (that can be debated, endlessly), but their lives and accomplishments deserve to be known far and wide.'
