Summary:

This comprehensive study guide is intended to be a companion for the seventh edition of Common Sense Police Supervision. It was developed to help readers and students test their knowledge of the contents of the twenty-chapter text. It also was fashioned to help the promotional student ready him or herself for an examination based on the book. At the beginning of each chapter, a summary of the contents is provided for each of this guide's twenty chapters. The summary is followed by a series of questions designed to test and reinforce the reader's knowledge and understanding of the chapter. Each of the guide's questions is in multiple-choice format where the reader chooses the single best answer for each question. The answers for each section follow at the end of each chapter along with the corresponding page numbers from the text where the subject is discussed. This is exceptionally useful as an additional learning tool. If used along with the book, the guide should increase the reader's comprehension and retention of the material found in the text. In addition, this study guide can also be an invaluable teaching instrument for instructors. Readers will find a new chapter, "Working for Someone," that provides valuable information for the law enforcement supervisor to assure that the working relationship with his or her own boss is a consistently positive one.
