With the immediacy of a daily newspaper, this book reveals how the irresponsible use of SWAT teams, shock-and-awe policing, and the increasing militarization of American law enforcement is changing the face of "the land of the free."
Jim Fisher is professor emeritus of criminal justice at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Edinboro, PA.
Fisher … offers a powerful work that takes up the cause for society
and law enforcement to conduct a realistic, rational assessment of
the proliferation and expanded use of special weapons and tactics
(SWAT) teams. …This very nice scholarly work, well researched and
supported with factual, albeit occasionally sarcastic, commentary,
is well suited for criminal justice and especially public issues
collections. …Recommended.
