Editorial Reviews

Chrismas frequently highlights the need for further research in some areas. He then suggests that research should be conducted into determining whether such programs have achieved the efficiencies they were implemented to achieve at Canadian Policing in the 21 st Century: Yes, policing has its faults and challenges, but it is also proactive, thoughtful, creative, and analytical — grounded in evidence-based research as well the years of experience of its front-line officers. Voracious marked it as to-read Nov 12, Canadian Policing in the 21st Century focuses both on policing in the twenty-first century and, in some respects, policing in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as well. Written in language that laypersons will find functional, Chrismas' Canadian Policing provided information that creates real-life scenarios regarding the inner-workings of law enforcement.

He proposes tactics for addressing widespread social issues such as gang and domestic violence and strategies for cooperating in international networks tackling human trafficking, internet-based child exploitation, organized crime, and terrorism. Chrismas stresses how changing demographics related to age, gender and racial diversity, and increased dangers and demands, require intensified training and higher education in policing. He highlights the need for more effective collaborative relationships between police and local, provincial, and federal governments, non-government agencies, and their communities.

While the principles and goals of policing remain largely unchanged, police challenges, tools, and strategies have evolved dramatically. Chrismas's vantage point as an officer and a scholar provides an illuminating account of the Canadian justice system, and road-maps to future success. Hardcover , pages.
