The issue of police militarism has been back at the forefront of criminal justice policy discussions in the wake of the militaristic police response to the protests that took place after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. This book examines the issue of militarization in a post-Ferguson environment from the perspective of those inside policing. Drawing from a variety of data--including historical analysis of newspaper articles to examine the use of firearms in policing; original data from police respondents attending the FBI's National Academy in Quantico, Virginia; interviews with police chiefs and tactical officers regarding their direct experiences; and a sample of National Academy attendees reporting on the deployment of patrol rifles in policing--this work provides a nuanced look at police militarization that will inform future conceptual discussions and empirical research into the phenomenon. Considerations identified for police policy-makers include politics, media, leadership, and marketing. These themes are explored in detail, suggesting multiple dimensions, both theoretical and empirical, to better understand policing and policy, making this book an excellent resource for students, scholars, and professionals in law enforcement, political science, and public administration"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Methods and data -- History -- National academy survey -- Professional opinions -- Police chief interviews -- Tactical officer interviews -- The patrol rifle. 650 0 $a Militarization of police $z United States. 650 0 $a Police $x Special weapons and tactics units $z United States $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Police chiefs $z United States $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Law enforcement $z United States. 650 7 $a Law enforcement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993931 650 7 $a Militarization of police. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919413 650 7 $a Police chiefs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068574 650 7 $a Police $x Special weapons and tactics units. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068519 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423832 776 08 $i Online version: $a Phillips, Scott W. $t Police militarization. $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2018 $z 9780429490422 $w (DLC) 2018026541 830 0 $a Routledge innovations in policing 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214011931.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=267B36B62E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
