Book Reviews of Police Operations: Theory and Practice

Book Review: Policing Methods and Ethics explained
Summary: 4 Stars

I had to buy this book for a Policing Methods and Ethics class. Rather Boring and very dry reading although, very informative and full of information. What you'll get out of this book is basic policing methods and operations. Explores the myths of the TV cop, the history and evolution of policing, covers such topics as patrols, traffic, juvenile dinqs, gangs, domestic violence, criminal law and investigations, and ethics.
After reading this book you'll know a little bit more about police culture.

Summary of Police Operations: Theory and Practice

This introductory text covers all major areas of police operations with a focus on community-oriented and problem-oriented policing, which reflects the current direction of progressive police departments. Providing a comprehensive presentation of police operations, the authors incorporate the latest research on patrol techniques, cultural diversity, and changes in police administration policy. The text goes beyond the traditional focus on the patrol function of policing, but is still geared towards the student pursuing a career in law enforcement. Known for solid coverage of basic policing principles and practices, this text is one of the few texts in this market intended purely for the police operations course, and not for a combination of introduction to law enforcement and police operations courses. Wrobleski brings a practical and professional knowledge with a practitioner's point of view, while Hess brings her experience of over 25 years of developing instructional products.
