Calls for strong, intelligence-driven, paramilitary policing juxtaposed with a demand for "softer" community policing, leave the pragmatic aspects and challenges posed,the articles are written by academics and practicing police officers from four countries to provide a balanced, international point of view.

Rising terrorism and advances in technology, along with new organizational strategies and investigative techniques, have stretched the traditional role of the police officer.Calls for strong, intelligence-driven, paramilitary policing juxtaposed with a demand for "softer" community policing, leave officers under increased pressure to be tough and resolute, yet compassionate, accountable, and adaptable. A measured analysis of these concerns is crucial to enable police officers to move forward in this increasingly conflicted world.

Researc, Contemporary Drawn from the most important articles in Police Practice and Issues in Law Enforcement and Policing focuses on the most common issues affecting today's officers. Enhanced with an introduction and conclusion to present and weigh the arguments and consider the pragmatic aspects and challenges posed,the articles are written by academics and practicing police officers from four countries to provide a balanced, international point of view.
