Описание: This book is a collection of chapters from local, regional, and international experts in the fields of law enforcement, safety, and security. In a world where threats and crises are increasingly transnational, there is value in the cross-cultural exchange of information and the integration of knowledge bases to understand the present-day landscape dynamics. More than ever, there is a greater urgency for behavioural sciences to inform and shape operational protocols and policies in the security sector.
Описание: Winner, 2018 Law & Legal Studies PROSE Award The consequences of big data and algorithm-driven policing and its impact on law enforcement In a high-tech command center in downtown Los Angeles, a digital map lights up with 911 calls, television monitors track breaking news stories, surveillance cameras sweep the streets, and rows of networked computers link analysts and police officers to a wealth of law enforcement intelligence. This is just a glimpse into a future where software predicts future crimes, algorithms generate virtual “most-wanted” lists, and databanks collect personal and biometric information. The Rise of Big Data Policing introduces the cutting-edge technology that is changing how the police do their jobs and shows why it is more important than ever that citizens understand the far-reaching consequences of big data surveillance as a law enforcement tool. Andrew Guthrie Ferguson reveals how these new technologies —viewed as race-neutral and objective—have been eagerly adopted by police departments hoping to distance themselves from claims of racial bias and unconstitutional practices. After a series of high-profile police shootings and federal investigations into systemic police misconduct, and in an era of law enforcement budget cutbacks, data-driven policing has been billed as a way to “turn the page” on racial bias. But behind the data are real people, and difficult questions remain about racial discrimination and the potential to distort constitutional protections. In this first book on big data policing, Ferguson offers an examination of how new technologies will alter the who, where, when and how we police. These new technologies also offer data-driven methods to improve police accountability and to remedy the underlying socio-economic risk factors that encourage crime. The Rise of Big Data Policing is a must read for anyone concerned with how technology will revolutionize law enforcement and its potential threat to the security, privacy, and constitutional rights of citizens. Read an excerpt and interview with Andrew Guthrie Ferguson in The Economist.

Описание:
In the tumultuous years following the Civil War, violence and lawlessness plagued the state of Texas, often overwhelming the ability of local law enforcement to maintain order. In response, Reconstruction-era governor Edmund J. Davis created a statewide police force that could be mobilized whenever and wherever local authorities were unable or unwilling to control lawlessness. During its three years (1870–1873) of existence, however, the Texas State Police was reviled as an arm of the Radical Republican party and widely condemned for being oppressive, arrogant, staffed with criminals and African Americans, and expensive to maintain, as well as for enforcing the new and unpopular laws that protected the rights of freed slaves.
Drawing extensively on the wealth of previously untouched records in the Texas State Archives, as well as other contemporary sources, Barry A. Crouch and Donaly E. Brice here offer the first major objective assessment of the Texas State Police and its role in maintaining law and order in Reconstruction Texas. Examining the activities of the force throughout its tenure and across the state, the authors find that the Texas State Police actually did much to solve the problem of violence in a largely lawless state. While acknowledging that much of the criticism the agency received was merited, the authors make a convincing case that the state police performed many of the same duties that the Texas Rangers later assumed and fulfilled the same need for a mobile, statewide law enforcement agency.

Описание: What are you allowed to do to protect yourself or another person from harm? Force in Law Enforcement explains the justifications for the use of force by both citizens and law enforcement officers.The book offers a step-by-step process for making a citizen’s arrest and presents sample scenarios in preparation for the board interview for law enforcement officers. It also introduces police strategies normally only available to students in the police academy. Students will learn about situations that call for uses of force and what the various use of force options are. They will be introduced to the legal justifications for lethal force, including what can be predicted and what can be prevented in lethal force situations. The book also addresses training procedures, rules of law, and ways to control force. Written by a former law enforcement professional and successfully class-tested, Force in Law Enforcement is well suited to introductory criminal justice and policing courses.

Описание: Undue Process: Taking the Law Out of Law Enforcement raises the reader's awareness of an important constitutional issue that has yet to receive significant attention despite its impact on contemporary life, law, and society. The book analyzes how the vast expansion of private security has undermined citizens’ constitutional rights to due process and equal protection. Most analyses of the expansion of private security have focused on the way this type of security encroaches on the right to privacy. Undue Process moves beyond this question to examine the way in which privatized law enforcement has begun to erode America's historic commitment to equality under the law. The opening chapters of the text explain the world of private security and examine how it has rapidly expanded due to budget-conscious limits on police capacity. Additional chapters explore the public-private hybrid form of law enforcement that has emerged in America as a result, along with specific constitutional issues raised by netlaw, private prisons, and the activities of bounty hunters. Undue Process is well-suited to political science and government courses and classes on criminal justice, constitutional law, and police procedures.
Описание: Law Enforcement Communication: Essential Skills for Solving Crimes, Managing Difficult People, and Improving Officer Safety helps law enforcement officers improve their communication skills with diverse populations and difficult people. The book is founded on the premise that the better an officer is at communicating with others, the safer and more effective the officer will be in all areas of law enforcement. The skills in this book apply equally to all law enforcement professionals, regardless of their rank, assignment, or responsibilities. Officers rely on good human relations skills to deescalate dangerous confrontations, facilitate cooperation, and solve crimes. Readers will learn the skills and attitudes necessary to build trust and rapport, resolve conflict, manage emotions, gain valuable information, and deal more effectively with difficult people. Additional chapters examine persuasive communication, emotional intelligence, and the importance of leadership in creating a culture of communication excellence. Law Enforcement Communication is an enlightening and intellectual resource well suited for courses in policing and law enforcement. It also provides a valuable resource for working law enforcement professionals, trainers, or anyone else interested in improving their personal and career success.
