- Summary:
- Covering areas such as leadership in policing, use of force, and legislative impact on police practice, Handbook of Police Administration examines the key topics that must be considered by modern law enforcement professionals. Divided into five thematic sections, it considers legal and ethical aspects, as well as how research, technology, and training can assist in more effective and efficient performance. The book covers problematic issues such as officers accepting gratuities, discrimination, professional courtesies, undercover work, organized crime, and police employee first amendment rights. It concludes with a chapter comparing U.S. protocol to administrative issues in Australia.
