Summary
Summary
'Law Enforcement in the 21st Century' is the first book to examine the 'linkage blindness' in the criminal justice system (the lack of connection between theories of policing and what actually happens in police departments), making linkages between theory and police practice through problem-solving and crime mapping applications.
