According to the book description of Law Enforcement,
Communication and Community, “Given widespread media attention to issues of crime and its prevention, police heroism,
and new modes of police-community involvements, this international collection is timely. It examines ways in which police
and citizens communicate across a range of contexts and problem areas. While much attention is afforded the critical roles
of communication by police agencies, there has been little recourse to communication science and its theories. Likewise, the
latter has not, until recently, concerned itself with analyzing police-citizen interactions. This volume examines the character
of such encounters, forging new theoretical frameworks having implications for practice in many instances. Topics include
media portrayals of law enforcement, communication and new technologies within LAPD culture, domestic violence,
hate crimes, stalking, sexual abuse, and hostage negotiations. This book should be relevant not only to a range of social
sciences besides communication scholars and students, but also to practitioners working in the field.”
