First published in 1996. In keeping with the other volumes in the Current Issues in Criminal justice series, this anthology is a prime example of joining readability and scholarship. Editor Otwin Marenin has thoughtfully commissioned and compiled an excellent group of essays on the role of police in changing societies by a very knowledgeable group of scholars. Moreover, Marenin has added substantially to the collection through his own insightful contributions.
