Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The now-famous videotape of the beating of Rodney King precipitated a national outcry against police violence. Skolnick and Fyfe, two of the nation's top experts on law enforcement, use the incident to introduce a revealing historical analysis of such violence and the extent of its survival in law enforcement today.

I've read both of these author's books on the same subject. In most areas, particularly on the use of force and its assessment, these authors use speculation and assumption rather than basing conclusions on facts. Although there are facts and appropriate interviews in the book, they don't always use them in a rational way, or except to further a mostly liberal and pre-oriented opinion. While the need for police supervision is well thought out, the insight doesn't find its way into some of the other misperceptions about the incidents they discuss.

If you are interested in learning about the brutality of the police force and what can be done to prevent it, I highly recommend this book
