By combining research and theory in criminology, psychology, and communication, this handbook provides a foundation for identifying and understanding many of the issues that challenge police and the public in today’s society. It is an important and comprehensive analysis of the enormous changes in the roles of gender in society, digital technology, social media, and organizational structures have impacted policing and public perceptions about law enforcement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolicing necessitates people and government communicate. Absent communication, the police often struggle and fail. Policing is not an abstraction; rather, it provides content and meaning for the police and their constituents. In an era of over-numerating policing, bringing meaning to the bean counting is a major achievement of The Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Handbook of Policing, Communication, and Society. The editors offer a rich mosaic centering communications at the core of policing, where it belongs. A must read for serious police and civil leaders, and police scholars. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Jack R. Greene, Professor Emeritus, Northeastern University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiles, Maguire, and Hill have created a milestone Handbook – a comprehensive, balanced, theory-led, and evidence-based account of policing in all its forms. They frame policing as intergroup communication, in a context where lives are at stake, and thus highlight the crucial importance of communication and social identity. This timely and cogent book is a key resource for everyone in social psychology and communication, and it will have a major and needed impact on policy, practice, and the discussion of policing in society.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Cindy Gallois, Past President of the International Communication Association and Professor Emeritus, School of Psychology, University of Queensland, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiles, Maguire, and Hill have masterfully pointed out that communication is one of the most important tools police officers and leaders have at their disposal. We applaud the Handbook’s focus on the unique and specialized role of communication, as well as the role that science can and should play, in informing our use of it.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Jim Burch, President, National Police Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by Darrel W.
