Today law enforcement faces issues such as racial discrimination, use of force, and Body Worn Camera (BWC) scrutiny. But the birth and development of the American police can be traced to a multitude of historical, legal and political-economic conditions. [This book] traces how and why law enforcement agencies evolved and became permanent agencies; looking logically through history and offering potential steps forward that could make a difference without triggering unconstructive backlash."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.20973 Fr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
