Summary:

Police Education and Training in a Global Society provides an international survey of police officer education. Peter C. Kratcoski and Dilip K. Das bring together police educators from every continent to explore the similarities and differences in preparing police to meet their goals and accomplish their missions around the world. Represented are perspectives on training new recruits, in-service training, and advanced training. Several chapters focus on specialized training, such as that required to combat terrorism. Throughout, the need to concentrate on the development of technical skills and human relations is emphasized. The right combination of formal education and technical training is required if the police of the twenty-first century are to be effective. Police Education and Training in a Global Society is an ideal reference for police training professionals and those pursuing criminal justice and police training.
