Perspectives on Policing: Critical Conversations and Contemporary Issues provides students with a carefully curated selection of articles that effectively speak to pertinent issues within contemporary law enforcement and policing.

In Part II, articles discuss the education and training of police officers. Part III addresses the intersection of race and policing, outlining contemporary considerations and changes in policy in response to this timely issue. In Part IV, students explore the realities of rural policing and the need for organizational change in small town police departments. The final part is dedicated to police behavior, including possible explanations for why some police engage in corrupt behaviors, as well as possible solutions.
