After Hegemony or Police Patrol

After Hegemony: Cooperation and Discord in the World Political Economy (Princeton Classics Edition)

Author: Robert O Keohan

This book is a comprehensive study of cooperation among the advanced capitalist countries. Can cooperation persist without the dominance of a single power, such as the United States after World War II? To answer this pressing question, Robert Keohane analyzes the institutions, or "international regimes," through which cooperation has taken place in the world political economy and describes the evolution of these regimes as American hegemony has eroded. Refuting the idea that the decline of hegemony makes cooperation impossible, he views international regimes not as weak substitutes for world government but as devices for facilitating decentralized cooperation among egoistic actors. In the preface the author addresses the issue of cooperation after the end of the Soviet empire and with the renewed dominance of the United States, in security matters, as well as recent scholarship on cooperation.

Police Patrol: Operations and Management

Author: Charles D Hal

Hale's Police Patrol, Third Edition covers patrol operations, goals, and strategies. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of police patrol operations. It combines management theory with case study examples taken from small police departments in addition to coverage of community and problem oriented policing. This new edition discusses important issues such as:

• The most fundamental aspects of the patrol function—preparing for patrol and patrol techniques
• The role of the uniformed police officer in the criminal investigation process
• Community outreach programs including victim advocacy programs, citizen advisory councils, and school curricula
• Cultural diversity in the workplace
• The importance of integrity in police work
• Bias crime, stalking, and racial profiling

Police Patrol will serve the needs of the law enforcement community and further strengthen and improve upon the police patrol effort. This third edition may prove to be especially useful to police personnel who are employed in accredited police agencies or in those that are considering or attempting accreditation.
