Infos

Issues and Controversies in Policing Today fills a gap in the saturated general policing textbooks, that typically only cover some current issues in the back chapters and don't go in-depth, by exploring underlying causes for these issues – looking at current research and theory.

---

In each chapter of Issues and Controversies in Policing Today, author Johnny Nhan explores a provocative issue sure to spark classroom discussion. Grounding each topic in theory, recent published research, and practice, hefocuses on providing students with an understanding of its underlying causes. Moreover, a theoretical arc contextualizes the issues historically, facilitating a clear view of the ever-changing policing landscape. Used as a stand-alone text or as a companion to other material, Issues and Controversies in Policing Today offers all readers valuable insight into policing's current challenges and their origins.
