Policing America addresses the greatest challenges in the field today, from policing a diverse society to reexamining policing methods. By challenging readers to vicariously experience the job of the officer, the authors lend a real-world take reflective of the changing times we live in.

Throughout the 10th Edition, the theme of “what works” is reinforced in new cases, new exercises and updated information. Students also have opportunities to think critically, problem-solve and prepare to confront the challenges of policing in our age.
