This book explores New York City’s historic crime drop over the past quarter of a century. New York City’s dramatic crime decline is a real brainteaser: no one predicted it and, as of yet, no one has explained it, at least to the satisfaction of most social scientists who study crime trends.
Three strategic lessons emerge from the contributions to this volume on New York’s crime drop. It is suggested that future research should:
• go wide by putting New York in comparative context, nationally and internationally;
• go long by putting New York’s recent experience in historical context;
• develop a strong ground game by investigating New York’s crime drop across multiple spatial units, down to the street segment.
The contributors to Understanding New York’s Crime Drop aim to provoke expanded and sustained attention to crime trends in New York and elsewhere.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal, Justice Quarterly.

For courses in Introduction to Law Enforcement.
A current and practical look at policing practices from a big-picture perspective.
Law Enforcement in the 21st Century keeps readers up-to-date in this ever-evolving field providing a synthesis of the latest research literature with practical insights from the field. The important theme of linkage blindness is a central theme throughout, highlighting the multi-jurisdictional complexities of policing in the United States and abroad. Linkage blindness is then used as an important pedagogical tool to frame realistic critical-thinking exercises.
The Fourth Edition reflects the many challenges that have faced policing in the recent months and years. New chapter introductions — drawn from contemporary issues related to the use of force, community relations, and gun control — update the text for the current classroom. New concepts are added to the discussion, including student appreciation for the importance of police legitimacy. Greater attention is also paid to new technologies being piloted across the United States.
