Rezensionen

"Research can surely help police to be more effective and more professional, and the sort of studies of foot patrol described in this book contribute to that end. As police continue their long march toward truly professional policing, researchers can accompany them, but can't put them on a forced march, a point that the authors make well here." (Michael S. Scott, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, March, 2018)
