Police Behavior: A Sociological Perspective
Book information
Description
R~search on police behavior has increased dramatically during the past fifteen years. This course-oriented anthology of eighteen recent studies—including sections on the problems which bring patrol officers and citizens together, police-citizen interaction, abuse of arrest discretion, use of unnecessary force, and corruption—provides a representative sample of this new research/ Writings include those by Egon Bittner, Joseph Livermore, Jonathan Rubinstein, Mary Glenn Wiley, Terry L. Hudik, Richard E. Sykes, John P. Clark, Donald Black, Paul A. Pastor, Albert J. Reiss, Jr., Ellwyn R. Stoddard, John Van Maanen, Arthur L. Kobler, The Knapp Commission, and Richard J. Lundman. In addition, each section includes a list of further readings. In a readable, lucid style, Professor Lundman succinctly integrates the selections through essays introducing each section. These essays present a coherent theory of police behavior—a theory that focuses on the patrol officer and disputes the conventional wisdom regarding the origins of police conduct and misconduct. This is illustrated with recent research on the environmental and organizational origins of police behavior. Dedication Preface Contents Overview I.

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
