Trends in Policing Series

Pullman & New York, 13 December 2010

Book Summary
Sociological studies by academics are plentiful in the policing literature. But police leaders possess an abundance of knowledge that can complement, challenge, and support the more cerebral, scholarly treatments. This thoughtful perspective from the vantage point of individuals in the field enables a balanced understanding of the nuances and dynamics of police culture, elevating the topic to a heightened level of discourse.

Two interviews conducted by ICOS have been featured in the acclaimed Trends in Policing Series, produced by IPES, The International Police Executive Symposium.

Raymond Kendall, Honorary Secretary General of Interpol and Chair of ICOS Advisory Board explains views on policing and human rights. Rodrigo Oliviera, the Sub-Chief of Rio de Janeiro’s Civil Police explained Police practice in the city. Both were interviewed by ICOS' George Howell and Andre Mateus e Souza.
