Yarmey, A. Daniel UNDERSTANDING POLICE AND POLICE WORK, Psychosocial Issues
New York New York University Press 1990 0 8147 9670 2 / 9780814796702 Hard Cover Near Fine Fine Signed by Author
Hardcover, NEAR FINE/FINE, slight curve to front board, 406 pp. Yarmey examines cultural differences among communities and their respective attitudes about crime, with a focus on blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans. He compares attitudes toward police in the United States with attitudes in Canada and shows how the historical differences in settlement and growth of the two countries probably account for national differences in policing and attutudes toward the law. Understanding Police and Police Work discusses coercion tactics used by rapists to control their victims as well as the coercive techniques used by police to induce confessions. It examines the effectiveness of punishment as a deterrent to crime and the question of whether capital punishment is an effective deterrent to homicide.
