Summary:

This e-book consists of cutting-edge examinations of policing issues from a variety of behavioural perspectives. Collectively, the articles in this volume confront several under-researched aspects of police behaviour - from officer downtime to police-public interactions; from the controversial racially-biased policing to 'appropriate' use of force. This collection of articles provides a thought-provoking account of issues faced by police professionals, and will be of interest to both practising officers and researchers alike.
