Law Enforcement, Communication, and Community
Editor
| Center for Police Practices and Community
Given widespread media attention to issues of crime and its prevention, police heroism, and new modes of police-community involvements, this international collection is timely. It is unique in examining ways in which police and citizens communicate across a range of contexts and problem areas. While much attention is afforded the critical roles of communication by police agencies, there has been little recourse to communication science and its theories. Likewise, the latter has not, until recently, concerned itself with analyzing police-citizen interactions. This volume examines the character of such encounters, forging new theoretical frameworks having implications for practice in many instances. Topics include media portrayals of law enforcement, communication and new technologies within police culture, domestic violence, hate crimes, stalking, sexual abuse, and hostage negotiations. This book should be relevant not only to a range of social sciences besides Communication scholars and students, but also to practitioners working in the field.

“This book is a significant contribution to Police Communication and should be of interest to researchers and students in Communication, Psychology, and the emerging area of Peace Linguistics. As a teacher in a Community Policing Course in Recife,Brazil I applaud this editorial/publishing achievement, and hope it will be followed by other volumes , as we become thoroughly knowledgeable about about police/citizens interactions all over the world ,so as to help improve the communicative quality of law enforcement practices in our communities.”
