The Police in America: An Introduction

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.

Needed this book for my Policing class. We barely read it. But when we did it gave insightful look on now Policing is done in the USA and the history. I enjoyed the class very much.

Books condition was overall good. I have been using it for class and I am able to carry it during my commute back and forth to work on the train and read it to get caught up with my assignments.

Bought this book for college class. Very insightful.

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.

Good book however, for it to be NEW seems odd because it came in looking a bit already read through. It did arrive timely.

I never used the book. Im glad I paid for something my professor never had me read. Im sure its good though??

Book arrived very quickly. I was pleased to find that the information in the book is very accurate and well presented.
