By Chief Anthony V. Bouza (Ret.)

FROM THE JACKET: The prevalence of crime and violence in our culture is all too visible in the crack-ridden streets of our cities. Chief Anthony V. Bouza, recently retired Chief of Police in Minneapolis and former Commander of Police in the Bronx, is one of the leading authorities and innovative thinkers on crime in this country. As an insider he gives the reader a candid tour of the police force -a world more often than not shrouded in silence. In a no-nonsense yet highly articulate manner, Chief Bouza reveals the underpinnings of the police force, where even the lowest man on the totem pole has more power - the power of life and death -than any CEO. He also demonstrates how the safety and future of our cities ultimately lie in the hands of the chief of police. As head of the department, the chief sets the tone and establishes the rules regulating all police behavior. In a society filled with ambiguous and changing values, Chief Bouza tackles many highly charged issues. How should officers react to calls from wives whose lives are threatened by their spouses? Should the right to bear arms include access to automatic weapons? Is a cop on every corner the answer to most of society's ills? Bouza answers…..

A case study in Organization Development. By Marvin Weisbord, Howard Lamb and Allan Drexler.

From the Preface: “For the past five years, I have practiced what goes loosely by the name of "organization development," or O.D. The term O. D. means all sorts of things to different people. To those who practice it its meanings include a point of view, a set of values, and a kit bag of technolo- gies for helping people in organizations to do better whatever it is they're trying to do. In general, the viewpoint of O.D. consultants is strongly influenced by the behavioral sciences. It is also influenced by what we were doing before they started consulting, what kinds of people we are, and what we know how to do best.

By Eli B. Silverman

From the cover: “"In NYPD Battles Crime Eli B. Silverman analyzes the managerial underpinnings of the Giuliani revolution, epitomized, in his view, by the innovative crime-tracking system known as 'Compstat.' Mr. Silverman argues that previous police reforms paved the way for Giuliani's success; his book, however, is of greater interest in showing just how radical a departure the new crime philosophy was. ... [It] is a delight to read about a wildly successful--if, in retrospect, self-evident-idea: that policing is helpless without both data and the means to hold officers accountable for acting on it." -Heather MacDonald, Wall Street Journal

"Silverman has done a masterful job here, combining encyclopedic knowledgeof the politics and history of the city and the NYPD with unprecedented access at every departmental level, a first-rate academician's keen eye and objectivity, and the street smarts and candor of a life-long New Yorker. The result is a volume that should be mandatory reading for all police and public officials, researchers, students of crime and organizations, and concerned citizens. I can't recommend this book too highly." -James J. Fyfe, Professor of Criminal Justice,Temple University

By Gerard R. Murphy

From the Preface:”The policies of deinstitutionalization, first implemented over fifteen years ago and designed to transfer the care of the mentally ill from hospitals to local communities, have affected many public and private groups of society. A few groups have found themselves with a disproportionate amount of additional responsibilities not always with a concomitant allocation of resources. Law enforcement is one of these segments.”
