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 2004-04-06 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because police are the most visible face of government power for most citizens, they are expected to deal effectively with crime and disorder and to be impartial. Producing justice through the fair, and restrained use of their authority. The standards by which the public judges police success have become more exacting and challenging. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing explores police work in the new century. It replaces myths with research findings and provides recommendations for updated policy and practices to guide it. The book provides answers to the most basic questions: What do police do? It reviews how police work is organized, explores the expanding responsibilities of police, examines the increasing diversity among police employees, and discusses the complex interactions between officers and citizens. It also addresses such topics as community policing, use of force, racial profiling, and evaluates the success of common police techniques, such as focusing on crime "hot spots." It goes on to look at the issue of legitimacyâ€"how the public gets information about police work, and how police are viewed by different groups, and how police can gain community trust. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing will be important to anyone concerned about police work: policy makers, administrators, educators, police supervisors and officers, journalists, and interested citizens.
