Police Administration is a best-selling introduction to police organization and administration. It presents the complex procedures, politics and human relations issues confronting today's police supervisors and administrators. Devoted to providing a contemporary account, the authors make a strong yet balanced case regarding recent and significant changes in policing. Their decades of experience in law enforcement, training and teaching lend unique first-hand insight to their analyses.

The 10th Edition weighs the impact of a range of current issues on policing, including COVID-19 and social unrest aimed at police officers' use of deadly force. Numerous case studies, along with critical-thinking exercises in each chapter, will help you consider the practical application of theories from the text.
