商品簡介
Johnson (criminal justice, Washington State U.) offers a well-reasoned discussion of policing and the overwhelming need for improved communications. The author points out that police agencies typically are, because of the specialized nature of the work police personnel do, siloed--divided into sub-agencies that don't routinely communicate with each other. The author details agency structure and the benefits to be gained from communications and information sharing as policy rather than as incidental to a given occasion. The author also addresses the current state of policing, police technologies, people, and professional culture. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
