Beskrivning

Police violence of all types receives much attention from the media, and this is especially true for police homicides that often lead to demonstrations and protests. Police violence is a volatile, recurring social justice issue that often receives media attention, leads to demonstrations or protests and increases the tension between law enforcement agencies and the community they serve. Tom Barker examines police homicide and the different behavior patterns that lead to it, ranging from misadventure to intent. To better understand this complex issue, Barker has created 3 main categories: accidental homicides, justifiable homicides and criminal homicides. Barker includes a variety of cases from accidental deaths involving careless, reckless or negligent law enforcement officers to murders committed by LEOs engaged in organized crime or serial sexual homicides. This book will be of interest to those studying criminology, criminal justice, sociology, political science, etc.

Recensioner i media

Barker draws upon his prodigious experience in law enforcement and academe to examine the major questions in policing—how are police shootings conducted and to what extent are the police responsible? The text is replete with historical examples of how the police handled the ‘dangerous classes’ and how this bias effects policing today. Barker’s analysis clarifies the nature and description of many types of police homicides—including suicide by cop.
