Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egypt came to govern Gaza as a result of a war, a failed effort to maintain Arab Palestine. Throughout the twenty years of its administration (1948–1967), Egyptian policing of Gaza concerned itself not only with crime and politics, but also with control of social and moral order. Through surveillance, interrogation, and a network of local informants, the police extended their reach across the public domain and into private life, seeing Palestinians as both security threats and vulnerable subjects who needed protection. Security practices produced suspicion and safety simultaneously. Police Encounters explores the paradox of Egyptian rule. Drawing on a rich and detailed archive of daily police records, the book describes an extensive security apparatus guided by intersecting concerns about national interest, social propriety, and everyday illegality. In pursuit of security, Egyptian policing established a relatively safe society, but also one that blocked independent political activity. The repressive aspects of the security society that developed in Gaza under Egyptian rule are beyond dispute. But repression does not tell the entire story about its impact on Gaza. Policing also provided opportunities for people to make claims of government, influence their neighbors, and protect their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do I do when I am stopped by the police? This is a very relevant question these days. Law Enforcement Encounters will educate the reader on this and many other questions related to police stops. The book breaks down the three major types of police contacts and gives the reader an understanding of how to respond to each. Also discussed is the mindset of the police officer and the citizen and what they both may be thinking during these encounters. This book is about educating the minds of people throughout the country regarding law enforcement stopping citizens and their interactions during the stop. If a person knows what to expect when they are pulled over by law enforcement, they will be less apt to do the wrong thing. This is a very sensitive situation that needs addressing at this time in our country.

This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of Police Deadly Force Encounters: Science, Practice, and Police is a fascinating look into the reality of police work. The author integrates noted theories into a “street-wise” understanding of being a police officer. The focus of this book is on the use of deadly force by officers—a topic of considerable importance. The author discusses the psychosocial aspects of deadly force use, stemming from the individual officer, the situation, organizational influences, and the police culture. Expanding further into social issues, the controversial topic of race and use of deadly force is discussed. This depiction looks at both sides—that of racial victimization and that of the police—which helps to provide a rather unique perspective on this important issue. Of interest, the author breaks down the different dimensions of cognition as a factor in decision making among police, including the perception of the situation, the action taken depending on that perception, and the role of present and past memory. This will make for a useful training topic to alert officers to the cognitive processes that go into deadly force use—processes that they have the control to change to make a better decision. Next, the book delves into the biological factors that may be involved in police decision making—again where deadly force is involved. The various negative psychological impacts that a deadly force situation may bring about are identified and explained. This book will be useful as a tool for both law enforcement practitioners and researchers to better understand the intricacies of deadly force by the police. For researchers, the book has a multitude of references available for further exploration. It will prove to be a useful guide and reference volume for police managers and supervisors, mental health clinicians, investigators, attorneys, judges, law enforcement educators and trainers, rank and file police officers, including expert witnesses.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive, readable analysis of the key issues of the Black Lives Matter movement, this thought-provoking and compelling anthology features essays by some of the nation’s most influential and respected criminal justice experts and legal scholars. “Somewhere among the anger, mourning and malice that Policing the Black Man documents lies the pursuit of justice. This powerful book demands our fierce attention.” —Toni Morrison Policing the Black Man explores and critiques the many ways the criminal justice system impacts the lives of African American boys and men at every stage of the criminal process, from arrest through sentencing. Essays range from an explication of the historical roots of racism in the criminal justice system to an examination of modern-day police killings of unarmed black men. The contributors discuss and explain racial profiling, the power and discretion of police and prosecutors, the role of implicit bias, the racial impact of police and prosecutorial decisions, the disproportionate imprisonment of black men, the collateral consequences of mass incarceration, and the Supreme Court’s failure to provide meaningful remedies for the injustices in the criminal justice system. Policing the Black Man is an enlightening must-read for anyone interested in the critical issues of race and justice in America.

Book excerpt: This book deals with positive tactics officers can employ on the street to effectively use their own firearms to defeat those of assailants. It is devoted exclusively to understanding and mastering techniques that work for survival in real life situations. Unfortunately, most of the current literature on so-called 'combat shooting' explores what works against paper targets. Few street-wise experts or truly contemporary articles have emerged on street survival, although deadly assaults on the police continue to occur year after year. This book can help make you survival sensitive. The techniques it emphasizes are designed to affect the way you prepare, plan and react, to keep you alive in real situations. They are not hypotheses, but proven procedures, based on the insights of officers who have experienced gun battles and survived and on the lessons left behind by those who have died.

Book excerpt: There is tremendous controversy across the United States (and beyond) when a police officer uses deadly force against an unarmed citizen, but often the conversation is devoid of contextual details. These details matter greatly as a matter of law and organizational legitimacy. In this short book, authors Jon Shane and Zoë Swenson offer a comprehensive analysis of the first study to use publicly available data to reveal the context in which an officer used deadly force against an unarmed citizen. Although any police shooting, even a justified shooting, is not a desired outcome—often termed "lawful but awful" in policing circles—it is not necessarily a crime. The results of this study lend support to the notion that being unarmed does not mean "not dangerous," in some ways explaining why most police officers are not indicted when such a shooting occurs. The study’s findings show that when police officers used deadly force during an encounter with an unarmed citizen, the officer or a third person was facing imminent threat of death or serious injury in the vast majority of situations. Moreover, when police officers used force, their actions were almost always consistent with the accepted legal and policy principles that govern law enforcement in the overwhelming proportion of encounters (as measured by indictments). Noting the dearth of official data on the context of police shooting fatalities, Shane and Swenson call for the U.S. government to compile comprehensive data so researchers and practitioners can learn from deadly force encounters and improve practices. They further recommend that future research on police shootings should examine the patterns and micro-interactions between the officer, citizen, and environment in relation to the prevailing law. The unique data and analysis in this book will inform discussions of police use of force for researchers, policymakers, and students involved in criminal justice, public policy, and policing.

Book excerpt: Named one of the best nonfiction books of the year by The Washington Post “Tangled Up in Blue is a wonderfully insightful book that provides a lens to critically analyze urban policing and a road map for how our most dispossessed citizens may better relate to those sworn to protect and serve.” —The Washington Post “Remarkable . . . Brooks has produced an engaging page-turner that also outlines many broadly applicable lessons and sensible policy reforms.” —Foreign Affairs Journalist and law professor Rosa Brooks goes beyond the "blue wall of silence" in this radical inside examination of American policing In her forties, with two children, a spouse, a dog, a mortgage, and a full-time job as a tenured law professor at Georgetown University, Rosa Brooks decided to become a cop. A liberal academic and journalist with an enduring interest in law's troubled relationship with violence, Brooks wanted the kind of insider experience that would help her understand how police officers make sense of their world—and whether that world can be changed. In 2015, against the advice of everyone she knew, she applied to become a sworn, armed reserve police officer with the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department. Then as now, police violence was constantly in the news. The Black Lives Matter movement was gaining momentum, protests wracked America's cities, and each day brought more stories of cruel, corrupt cops, police violence, and the racial disparities that mar our criminal justice system. Lines were being drawn, and people were taking sides. But as Brooks made her way through the police academy and began work as a patrol officer in the poorest, most crime-ridden neighborhoods of the nation's capital, she found a reality far more complex than the headlines suggested. In Tangled Up in Blue, Brooks recounts her experiences inside the usually closed world of policing. From street shootings and domestic violence calls to the behind-the-scenes police work during Donald Trump's 2016 presidential inauguration, Brooks presents a revelatory account of what it's like inside the "blue wall of silence." She issues an urgent call for new laws and institutions, and argues that in a nation increasingly divided by race, class, ethnicity, geography, and ideology, a truly transformative approach to policing requires us to move beyond sound bites, slogans, and stereotypes. An explosive and groundbreaking investigation, Tangled Up in Blue complicates matters rather than simplifies them, and gives pause both to those who think police can do no wrong—and those who think they can do no right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS IS THE NEWEST VERSION OF POLICE ENCOUNTERS, PLEASE ENJOY!!!This book is written by a former investigator and was designed to give the everyday citizen critical information about their rights when dealing with law enforcement. There might be information in this book you only need to know one time, but that one time could save your life. Case laws are also included.1) What is the difference between a frisk and a search? 2) Did you know that if you were getting patted down (frisked) by an officer and that officer starts manipulating the items in your pocket with his finger, that "pat-down" just became and illegal search? 3) Did you know that if that officer puts his hand in your pockets that "pat-down" just became an illegal search? 4) Did you know that a "pat-down" is to be conducted on the outer layer of your clothing? Police Encounters: Know Your Rights was designed to educate it's readers on their everyday rights. This book is written by a former Investigator, SWAT member, and Hostage Negotiator. As an Investigator I've worked: Street level narcotics and was assigned to a DEA task force (developed informants, conducted surveillance, conducted undercover operations, conducted wire taps) Property crimes (burglary and thefts) Person's crimes (aggravated assaults and violent offenses) Sexual assaults (rapes and sexual assaults against children) White collar crimes (identity thefts and frauds.) As an investigator I've worked God knows how many cases. It's sad, but many of them were crimes against children, we receive too many of those. Anyway, I drafted numerous search warrants in my career to search everything from vehicles to body cavities. I've taken thousands of arrest warrants and conducted about the same number of interviews. I've had people confess things to me from petty thefts to despicable child molestations. And I've received all the information with a straight face and the suspect thinking I was there to show them support. I can't recount how many times I conducted an interrogation and thought to myself, "You need to ask for a lawyer right about now." But, my job was to extract information; so I did. I've participated in more than my share of hot pursuit chases, high risk warrant services (arrest warrant and search warrants), no-knock search warrants, and stand-offs in which I had to negotiate. With that being said, the information in this book is true and accurate with applicable case law to back it up. After each section of this book you will find numerous case laws with brief descriptions that will support what was just stated. Feel free to research the case laws and read the full scenario of what happened to bring about the case law. Also, the "examples" given in this book are taken from actual events so everything is true to life. Police Encounters: Know Your Rights is straight forward and very easy to understand. If you didn't know the answers to the questions asked, then you need to get this book. There is no telling how many times your civil rights have already been violated, and you didn't have the slightest idea. If you have a friend or loved one in college, this is the book for them. If you have brushes with the law, then this is the book for you. There is information in here that you didn't know about, that I guarantee. Now is the time to gain this new knowledge so that you can be mentally aware for you and those close to you. There is information in this book that you may only need to know one time, but that one time can be the difference between freedom and life in prison, or remaining a sexual assault victim or fighting back with the law. The knowledge is here, I suggest you give it a once over because I've personally sent people to prison who didn't know when to ask for a lawyer. Grant, they did the crime, but a lawyer could have helped negotiate a lighter sentence for a confession and cooperation. Don't be one of these people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In sheer numbers, no form of government control comes close to the police stop. Each year, twelve percent of drivers in the United States are stopped by the police, and the figure is almost double among racial minorities. Police stops are among the most recognizable and frequently criticized incidences of racial profiling, but, while numerous studies have shown that minorities are pulled over at higher rates, none have examined how police stops have come to be both encouraged and institutionalized. Pulled Over deftly traces the strange history of the investigatory police stop, from its discredited beginning as “aggressive patrolling” to its current status as accepted institutional practice. Drawing on the richest study of police stops to date, the authors show that who is stopped and how they are treated convey powerful messages about citizenship and racial disparity in the United States. For African Americans, for instance, the experience of investigatory stops erodes the perceived legitimacy of police stops and of the police generally, leading to decreased trust in the police and less willingness to solicit police assistance or to self-censor in terms of clothing or where they drive. This holds true even when police are courteous and respectful throughout the encounters and follow seemingly colorblind institutional protocols. With a growing push in recent years to use local police in immigration efforts, Hispanics stand poised to share African Americans’ long experience of investigative stops. In a country that celebrates democracy and racial equality, investigatory stops have a profound and deleterious effect on African American and other minority communities that merits serious reconsideration. Pulled Over offers practical recommendations on how reforms can protect the rights of citizens and still effectively combat crime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oftentimes, we find ourselves entering various stages of life unaware of the outcome. Some enter from a faith-based perspective, while others operate a different way. Chances are, we are driven by what we think is right for us, at the time. It’s part of our human experience; knowing what serves you. The challenges placed on our path to success help develop and shape who we need to become in the future. They are expected but unforeseeable; anticipated but not specific. Stephen Harper’s journey in law enforcement proved to be no different. His challenges, however, led to a greater sense of accomplishment. As a former, South Florida cop, Stephen recognizes the police problem this nation faces; especially when it comes to the treatment of the Black community. Therefore, he has offered a solution for the on-going issue. His suggestions aim to reduce tensions between law enforcement and the Black community. It will uplift both those who still work in the profession as well as those who do not. His stories are very informative, very relatable. With an insightful view into the police mentality, Stephen imparts just how the police think, work and act when dealing with the public. He even advises what responses they are looking for during certain encounters; and how to avoid preventable jail time; based upon certain conduct in the presence of the police. Those who wish to avoid heightened police encounters will benefit from the information contained in this book. It is a transformational nonfiction, solution-based book, that offers distinctive measures for a new perspective on policing, attributable from Stephen Harper’s success in the law enforcement profession. This book is based on true events. The reader will appreciate his candor, his honesty, and his bravery; adding value to all those who read it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection brings together scholars and practitioners to consider the ways in which policing organisations approach vulnerability and the strategies they develop to reduce victims, offenders and police officers’ susceptibility to increased harm. Based on their work with policing services, the public criminologists and critical policing scholars collected together in this edited volume consider vulnerability in terms of people, processes, and institutional practices. While more attention is being paid to some experiences of vulnerability — particularly at the later stages of the criminal justice process — this collection will be the first to focus on the specific issues faced by policing services as the front end of criminal justice. The case studies of vulnerability in each chapter offer the reader new insights into the operational concerns in working with vulnerable people (including vulnerable police officers). This collection is ideally suited for scholars of applied criminal justice studies (including policing studies), police recruits and officers in training, and policing practitioners such as policy and program development officers.
