This text on policing presents a balance between the practical and theoretical. Dempsey brings his 25 years of policing experience (as a ranking officer in the New York Police Department) together with contemporary research to illustrate both the formal and the real workings of the policing system. The book focuses on the controversies and the problems within the system, including statistical data.
