Summary:  "America's first known system of law enforcement was established more than 350 years ago. 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."---Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Calmar Campus Library Circulation Stacks (Calmar) 363.20973 Fre 2018 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 363.20973 Fre 2018 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
