Summary: This book is a sampling of perspectives which might provide the police officer or student of law enforcement a running start toward understanding his social, organizational, and physical surroundings. It is an attempt to present information which is generally not included in the traditions and folklore learned from the previous generation of policemen. Many police officers grow into their work viewing contemporary events as unique and unprecedented. Their experience of social change is painfully intensified by its isolation from an historical context. Reduction of the tensions generated by these current conditions is a major objective of this book.
