Law enforcement professionals encounter multiple challenges. The experiential case-study approach of Human Relations and Law Enforcement-honed through seven editions-places readers in hypothetical problem situations. Scenarios invite reflection and prompt a deeper understanding of the nature of law enforcement work. Concise but thorough introductions set the stage for thoughtful analysis of police-community relations, crisis intervention, interacting with juveniles, effective contact with the emotionally distressed, coping with stress, making ethical decisions, and administrative responsibilities. Case commentaries and questions stimulate discussion about possible courses of action and potential outcomes.
