, TO THE INSTRUCTOR
Law Enforcement in the 21st Century has as its central theme the linkages across law
enforcement jurisdictions and the struggle to develop a coordinated approach to
information sharing and strategy development in the face of any crime, including
terrorism. Additionally, the text explains the connections between law enforcement and
the rest of the criminal justice system. Moreover, the importance of information sharing
and collaboration across the criminal justice system agencies (and thus the relevance of
linkage blindness in this context as well) are also woven throughout relevant chapters of
the book. New technologies to combat linkage blindness are highlighted in one chapter of
the text as well.
Another theme of this textbook is the changing paradigm of policing throughout its history,
highlighting the movement from reactive to proactive management models. A major
philosophical and practical shift in the field of law enforcement came when Herman
Goldstein pioneered the principals of problem-oriented policing. Law enforcement
agencies continue to utilize the principle of problem solving today in a community oriented
policing approach to address quality of life concerns. This central element of problem
solving and proactive policing is relating underlying causes to strategy, which is yet
another theme revisited throughout the text.
This book is divided into three sections with the aforementioned themes woven throughout
the entire text. The first section of the book lays the framework of the law enforcement
field for the reader, establishing common definitions, and tracing the origins and
developments of the field to the end of the professionalization movement. It includes an
OVERVIEW of the legal underpinnings of police work, paying particular attention to the
challenges to precedents evident in the new threat of terrorism and related legislation
such as the United States Patriot Act of 2001. The second section of the book presents the
more traditional functions and operations of law enforcement (i.e., structure and
operations) in a way that prepares the reader for changing dynamics to encompass evolving
policing models and demands. The section also examines challenging issues in policing,
such as the important role of discretion. The final section of the book challenges readers
to analyze the future directions and trends in law enforcement. Special attention is paid
here to the changing demographics of the country, as well as the impact of a post-
September 11 world. Through the development of these sections, the reader is exposed to
the major issues, challenges, and functions of policing in a developmental manner.
The text interactive boxes, “Linkages and Law Enforcement,” will challenge readers to
relate concepts and issues being learned in a current chapter to earlier material or current
events, thereby encouraging the developmental learning approach of the book. A major
theme visited across chapters is the challenge of balancing concerns of public safety with
individual freedoms or due process.
LIST OF CHANGES/TRANSITION GUIDE
The Fourth Edition of Law Enforcement in the 21st Century builds upon the developmental
framework of the first three editions, though material is updated and streamlined. The
authors included only the material that is essential to learning about the development of
law enforcement and its functions and challenges. Additional Linkages in Law Enforcement
text boxes have been added throughout the text, which help guide readers through
exercises to better learn the core concepts presented. New policing challenges, such as
school safety have been introduced, while concepts such as legitimacy have been woven
