This textbook is designed to introduce the student to all facets of law enforcement which deals with many general topics instead of a few topics in great depth. The material is divided into three parts. Part one deals with fragmentation of the criminal justice system as well as historical, theoretical, and legal aspects of law enforcement and crime. Part two discusses opportunities for employment in the criminal justice system, the organization and administration of various functions and services of law enforcement (i.e., introduction to specific techniques of police work such as patrol, investigation, and criminalistics). Part three introduces the student to the following specialized topics organized crime, victimless crime, arrest procedures, ethics in police work, and, police-community relations.
