Police: A Field Guide
Author: David Correia
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1786630133
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
A radical guide to the language of policing This field guide arms activists—and indeed anyone concerned about police abuse—with critical insights that ultimately redefine the very idea of policing. When we talk about police and police reform, we speak the language of police legitimation through euphemism. So state sexual assault becomes “body-cavity search,” and ruthless beatings “non-compliance deterrence.” In entries such as “police dog,” “stop and frisk,” and “rough ride,” the authors expose the way “copspeak” suppresses the true meaning and history of law enforcement. In field guide fashion, they reveal a world hidden in plain view. The book argues that a redefined language of policing might help us chart a future that’s free. Including explanations of newsmaking terms such as “deadname,” “kettling,” and “qualified immunity,” and a foreword by leading justice advocate Craig Gilmore.

Pages : 482
Book Description
On a perfect autumn night in 1984, a retired policeman charged into his neighbor's garage, hell-bent on collecting a long-overdue narcotics debt. Instead, he met two shotgun blasts-one shredded his chest, and the other ripped a hole in his back as he tried to flee. A half hour later, he flatlined in the ambulance. But this cop wasn't about to leave so easily. The ensuing court trial released a flood of stunning revelations about three of the most extraordinary crimes in American history- Examscam, the statewide black-market sale of stolen police entrance and promotional exams that destroyed Massachusetts' Metropolitan Police force. A massive cocaine and marijuana distribution operation that moved a half billion dollars of drugs in less than two years. And the daring robbery of the Depositors Trust Bank-at $30 million, one of the largest-ever heists in the world. All involving one man-the shotgun victim, Joey Bangs.

THE POLICE OFFICER'S GUIDE TO CIVIL LIABILIT
Author: Carl J. Franklin
Publisher: Charles C Thomas Publisher
ISBN: 0398082146
Category : Actions and defenses
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
For the first time, a comprehensive text has brought together the major topics concerning police liability. It is written from the perspective of a ten-year police veteran - written by a cop for cops. It will help the average cop understand and cope with a frightening area of today's society, as well as help current and future police administrators under stand how to deal with civil liability. Today's police officer is twenty times more likely to be sued than to be shot. Yet, the average police officer has received a hundred times more training on fire arms use than in learning how to protect oneself from the civil lawsuit. With the number of lawsuits against individual officers and departments on the rise, we can no longer ignore the need to educate ourselves against the threat of civil liability. This book acts as a road map of basic training to find the way through the labyrinth of our civil justice system. No other book attacks the problem of understanding the growing theories of police civil liability. Whether used in a college classroom, academy, or personal library, this is must reading for every police officer working today. Those who arm themselves in this knowledge area can survive the horrendous attacks by money-hungry litigants and will be better prepared to lead the law enforcement community into the next century.
