Reviews

Richard Ericson, Principal of Green College and professor of Law and Sociology, University of British Columbia:

'Fair Cop is the most sophisticated and important study yet of police training. Its unique research approach and findings broaden our understanding of occupational socialization. As such, Fair Cop is a lasting contribution to academic research on the police and to the sociology of organizations and occupations. It is also a valuable resource for those concerned with improving police management and for the field of human resources in general.'
