Written by a world famous international police scholar and former police executive in India, this work is an in-depth comparative study of policing in five different countries. A product of street observations, ride-alongs, interviews, visits, and literature reviews conducted over several years, the text highlights the variety of practices found in different police cultures. Each section of the countries profiled covers organizational structure, selection and training, leadership and supervision, police role and functions, and police/public projects. The first-hand information provided from all levels of police organization is invaluable for those studying comparative policing.
