In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

xiii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am continuously and deeply indebted to Anne-Marie, the true scholar of the family. She is all at once both my inspiration and support network. Without her, there is no book. Liam and Aidan are my daily reminders of what is truly important in life, offering much needed “distractions” when the writer’s block sets in. When I initially asked Mike White to write this book with me, I naively thought we were in for an easy ride, turning a final report into an academic press book. Mike (and the review process) quickly reset those expectations, and his intellectual contributions have made this book as much his as it is mine. —RJK I would like to thank my colleagues and friends who have continued to influence and shape my thoughts on the police, especially my co-author Rob Kane, Charles Katz, and Justin Ready. I am also grateful for the continued support and encouragement from my parents. And my final thanks go to my wife, Alyssa, and my kids, Devon, Gabi, and Logan. Their extraordinary patience with “dad typing on his computer all the time” is deeply appreciated . This book is for them. —MDW This page intentionally left blank ...
