The Police in America, 4/e
Samuel Walker, University of Nebraska
Charles M. Katz, Arizona State University-West

The Police in America takes readers beyond the sound-bites and statistics to present a complete and contemporary overview of what it means to be a police officer. Comprehensively revised and updated, the Fourth Edition incorporates information on police and policing as current as today's headlines. This across-the-board revision discusses the most contemporary police operational strategies and the effectiveness of these strategies; police response to gang crime, school crime, terrorism, and computer-related crime; state-of-the-art strategies that the police are using to respond to the homeless, the mentally ill, and people with HIV/AIDS; and police innovations such as community-oriented policing, problem-oriented policing, and zero tolerance policing.

In response to the events of September 11th and their aftermath, McGraw-Hill has created this unique website that enables instructors and students to integrate coverage of terrorism into their courses. This is not just another long list of URLs, but includes the full text of thought-provoking articles on terrorism from the scholarly and popular press. These articles have been selected by real professors, linked explicitly from chapters in your McGraw-Hill texts, and accompanied by weekly updates and a 24-hour newsfeed.
