Summary: "The field of police administration is dynamic and ever changing. Laws are modified, new problems occur, and administrative practices that were once accepted as gospel are challenged, modified, and, in some cases, discarded. Beginning in the turbulent 1960s with the due process revolution, followed by the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War demonstrations, widespread riots in our largest cities, the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice, and largescale research on policing, the somewhat static precepts of policing came under increased scrutiny. Like a ball gaining speed as it rolls down a steep hill, change has become more fast paced, urgent, and pervasive"-- Provided by publisher.
