Cross-Cultural Profiles of Policing

Written by a world famous international police scholar and former police executive in India, this work provides an in-depth comparative view of the police in five different countries. It is a product of street observations, ride-alongs, interviews, visits, and literature reviews conducted over several years and shows that policing all over the world is characterized by variety. Each country section covers organizational structure, selection and training, leadership and supervision, police role and functions, and police/public projects. The first-hand information provided about the various police cultures from all levels of the police organization is invaluable for those studying comparative policing.
