Based on personal experience and academic research, Tom Barker shines a light on the dark side of American policing by examining misconduct and corruption as occupational and workplace forms of deviance. Barker outlines patterns of rule breaking and criminal behavior while providing strategies for management and control. This textbook is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate courses in criminal justice, criminology, justice studies, sociology, and public administration.
