      abstract = {Policing in the US and many western nations is in an era  of crisis, facing extensive calls for reformation and  change. This edited book outlines the major challenges and  changes needed to achieve a more stable future for the  policing profession and police organizations. The chapters  come from innovative police leaders and officers as well as  academics with subject matter expertise, to provide insight  into how reform can be achieved. It starts with an  examination of how policing reached this state of crisis  and discusses some interviews conducted with police  leaders, particularly chiefs as agents of change and  reform. This is followed by chapters from veteran police  leaders and personnel describing some of the factors that  brought policing to this critical time of change and  reform, and some potential strategies to create meaningful  change while considering unintended consequences. The book  concludes with chapters from academics and police leaders  defining paths that policing can take toward needed changes  that will increase legitimacy, trust, and equality of  policing services. The text speaks to students, academics  and professionals interested in police organization and  administration, police leadership, and contemporary issues  in policing and criminal justice.
