{"product_id":"9781577664178","title":"The Police and Society: Touchstone Readings","description":"This collection of readings provides multiple foundations for understanding the dynamic interrelationships between the police and society.

Economic rhetoric among police administrators, the promotion of community policing by reformers, a significant expansion in tactical operations by law enforcement agencies, and the advance of a criminology of place have emerged as key issues affecting the relationships between the police and society today. What perceptions created these approaches? What constructions will replace them in the future?
