Sobre este e-book

Police Evolution offers a comprehensive exploration of how American policing has transformed from its rudimentary origins to its current complex state. It delves into the historical, social, and political forces that have shaped law enforcement, revealing how policing practices reflect shifting societal values and technological advancements. For instance, the rise of municipal police departments in the 19th century was often marred by political corruption, while the professionalization movement of the early 20th century brought about significant changes through figures like August Vollmer.

This book uniquely connects the evolution of policing to broader fields like sociology, political science, and African American studies, shedding light on power dynamics and institutional racism. The book begins with early forms of law enforcement, including the English watch system and slave patrols, progresses through the civil rights era and its impact on policing, and culminates with contemporary issues like the militarization of police and debates surrounding racial profiling.

By examining the interplay between policing and society, Police Evolution provides valuable context for understanding current debates about criminal justice reform and pathways for creating a more equitable system of public safety.
