Book Description
Excerpt from American Police Systems This study, which I undertook at the invitation of the Bureau of Social Hygiene, as a companion volume to European Pol/ice Systmns, was practically completed when the United States entered the war in 1917. Thereafter for over two years and a half my time was so occupied that there was no opportunity to get the manuscript ready for the press. Only recently have I had leisure to finish it, and its publication now is due largely to my associate, Mr. Leonard V. Harrison, whose research and investiga tion in the last six months have brought my material up to date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This book is a reprint of the 1920 publication. The book is based upon personal study of the police in practically every city in the United States with a population exceeding 100,000, and in many communities of lesser size. In all, seventy-two cities were visited. The author takes to task the police of the early twentieth century for anti-labor union attitudes and operations but is himself guilty of anti-Negro, anti-alien bias -- the latter somewhat surprising since he is so outspoken an admirer of the German, French and English police. His comparisons of Euro pean and American crime rates, despite the sorry state of crime statistics then and now, stand up quite well -- as do his some, what superficial analyses of the reasons for the differences they show. The author also had an opportunity to follow up certain lines of research in London and Paris, so that the comparisons between European and American conditions occurring in the book are based upon the latest information available at that time.

Book Description
Excerpt from American Police Administration: A Handbook on Police Organization, and Methods of Administration, in American Cities American police administration should not be confused with a manual on police practice and procedure. Administration relates to the organization, super vision and control of processes of police work; police practice and procedure relate to the actual doing of daily routine work. This study has been pursued with a full under 1 standing of the proper limitations of a treatise on the principles of administration. One of the chief sources of this work has been the material gathered and developed by the New York Bureau of Municipal Research during the course of some thirteen years devoted to the study of the problems of police administration and to the making of administrative surveys in many of the large cities of the United States. Mr. Graper has refined this wealth of raw material and that found in police reports, state laws and city charters, and through comparisons and selection has been able to set forth the best practices prevailing in police administration. This handbook will be useful to the superior police officer who is charged with the task of management and to those members of the rank and file who would aspire to fit themselves for higher administrative posts.

Book Description
Police in America provides students with a comprehensive and realistic introduction to modern policing in our society. Utilizing real-word examples grounded in evidence-based research, this easy-to-read, conversational text helps students think critically about the many misconceptions of police work and understand best practices in everyday policing. Respected scholar and author Steven G. Brandl draws from his experience in law enforcement to emphasize the positive aspects of policing without sugar-coating the controversies of police work. Brandl tackles important topics that center on one question: “What is good policing?” This includes discussions of discretion, police use of force, and tough ethical and moral dilemmas—giving students a deeper look into the complex issues of policing to help them think more broadly about its impact on society. Students will walk away from this text with a well-developed understanding of the complex role of police in our society, an appreciation of the challenges of policing, and an ability to differentiate fact from fiction relating to law enforcement.

Book Description
This book maps the development of modern policing—both theory and practice—from humans' first efforts at social control, through the British roots of modern policing, to the unique institution of American policing today. How Americans view police has varied dramatically through history. In 1856, New York police opposed wearing uniforms because they felt it represented a militaristic and nondemocratic type of organization. Today, our police model themselves on the military and use military tactics in the "war" on drugs. Policing in America: A Reference Handbook chronicles our changing ideas and methods of social control, beginning with the first recorded instances. It traces the trends that have shaped America's unique policing system and our fascination with police. It also examines the hot-button issues that concern police scholars today—such as the nature of the police subculture and police corruption—and details the trends and issues that will shape the future of policing. An essential reference for those interested in—and affected by—the American system of policing, which impacts us all.
