Critical Government Documents on Law and Order reviews of many law and order issues relevant to our current national issues. This extensive volume. . . .[is] an impressive attempt to gather together information from as many sources as possible so that the reader doesn't have to. Critical Government Documents on Law and Order presents arguments for and against the issues covered so that the reader can come to their own conclusions. Areas and issues covered include the threat from domestic and international terrorism and the growth of extremist militias; the increase in school place and workplace violence; relationships between police and the public; and how people can protect themselves from being victims of crime. Enhanced with the inclusion of eleven pages of Notes, and a ten page Glossary, Critical Government Documents on Law and Order is very highly recommended for community, college, and university library Political Science collections in general, and Contemporary Judicial & Law Enforcement supplemental studies reading lists in particular.
