Issues and Controversies in Policing Today

About this book

Issues and Controversies in Policing Today by Johnny Nhan is a thought-provoking exploration of today's policing challenges. It delves into contemporary topics ranging from police misconduct and racial profiling to LGBTQ officers and policing technologies. These topics are grounded in theory, research, and practice. This second edition features two new chapters covering (1) the critical shortage of police officers and (2) the conflict and tensions between street cops and management cops.
Since the first edition, the author has undergone the police academy and became a reserve police officer. This new and unique perspective going from academic to practitioner adds depth, bringing firsthand experience to the discussion and throughout this text. Whether you are a student, practitioner, or curious reader, the second edition of Issues and Controversies in Policing Today offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of law enforcement.
