Review
Police in America is the textbook on policing. Very comprehensive and accessible. This is the best resource that I have found for teaching current trends and best practices toward evidence-based policing. — Selye Lee

A well-written, comprehensive textbook that works at both sophomore and junior level classes. It covers topics often ignored in other textbooks, and is engaging for students.
— Elizabeth Perkins

Police in America is an introductory text which discusses current and relevant policing issues within the context of police history. The central theme of ‘what is good policing’ ties together the concepts and information presented to students. — Wendy Perkins

Thorough, concise, user-friendly, accurate, and up to date.
— Paul Klenowski
