Are the police friends or foes? The public’s answer to that question is crucial. As a society, how we perceive the men and women of law enforcement will dictate whether we champion or challenge them as they strive to maintain order and keep criminals at bay in our communities. In The Case for Cops: Building Community Support for the Police, Dr. Shane Stone combines legal and moral reasoning with practical insight to argue for the indispensability of police in modern society. He reinforces this case with engaging examples, real criminal cases, and firsthand accounts from his career in law enforcement. At a time when critics want to defund or “reimagine” the police, Stone offers a reasoned and persuasive argument that highlights not only the immense danger and difficulties of the job but also the impressive dedication of those who serve. This book challenges misconceptions about countless police attitudes, procedures, and tactics and sheds brand-new light on cops. To what end? “I realized that many, even law-abiding citizens, have lost confidence in the police and need new reasons to get behind them once again. This book offers all the proof anyone will ever need to gain a fresh appreciation for police officers and the life-threatening work they willingly do so that the rest of us can sleep at night.” — Shane Stone
Good Cops
Police departments across the country have begun to embrace a new approach to law enforcement based on accountability to citizens, better leadership, and collaboration with the communities they serve. Standing in marked contrast to “Ashcroft policing,” these new strategies are exactly what police need both to make the streets of our cities and towns safer, and to prevent terrorism. David Harris, law professor and nationally known expert on police profiling, has spent the last five years visiting police forces across the country, collecting examples of smart, progressive law enforcement. Drawing on successful strategies currently in use in Detroit, Boston, San Diego, and other cities and towns all over the country, all of which have reduced crime without infringing on civil rights, Harris here unveils the concept of “preventive policing,” a term he has coined to meld these strategies into a new vision for good cops. From preventive policing’s founding principles to its real-world applications, Harris shows that the solutions to reducing crime, fighting terror, and preserving civil liberties are within reach—if only the Department of Justice will listen.
