Why Must Read Multicultural Law Enforcement: Strategies for Peacekeeping in a Diverse Society (What's New in Criminal Justice)?
For the most part, it's exactly what you think it's going to be. There's a few tiny sections of useful information about human trafficking, gangs, some other bits, all lost in a morass of stereotypical drivel reminding you not to use racial slurs and not to be a totally insensitive A-hole when dealing with people from other backgrounds. No one that really needs to learn this sort of thing from a book would survive field training at my agency. Oh yeah, and if you're a cop and don't already know not to let the kid that's in trouble translate for you when you talk to his parents, please, just get another job doing something else, because you're too stupid to be the police. Same goes for those of you that need a book to know not to interrupt a female colleague during a work related discussion with something on the level of, "Wow, you must've been workin' out 'cause you look hot in your uniform!" (No-not kidding-actually in the book- as are many more hot tips of equal or lesser value) I suppose this might've been more beneficial 30 years ago, or as basic academy reading, but requiring it as prep for a promotional exam for experienced cops in 2018 is downright insulting. Enjoy the plethora of James Comey quotations. See if you find a couple of racial slurs you've never even heard before (I found 2). Gut it out. Good luck on your exam. If you're a police chief hiring an assessment center group, you might want to screen the required reading. If your promotional candidates really need to read this, they really do not need to be promoted. Demand something better in the center's curriculum or pick a different assessment center. I was baffled by all the 5 star reviews until I read them individually and realized they're from folks that think they're doing eBay feedback.... Price was good, shipped on time, arrived in good condition. Most people who rated the CONTENT OF THE BOOK were not nearly as positive.
