Understanding and Preventing Community Violence

This book examines the contemporary rise in community violence across the United States and globally from sociological and criminological perspectives. It comprehensively investigates police response to criminal incidents, engagements with criminal suspects, use of force by law enforcement, and crime control measures implemented or recommended to initiate effective crime control measures so that the unwanted rise of violence and serious crime can again be contained.

The primary audience for the book will be upper level undergraduate and graduate level students, criminal justice and law enforcement practitioners, government policy makers, community advocates, and researchers in sociology, criminology, homeland security, criminal justice, public administration, and political science.

The rise in community violence globally is a significant issue demanding immediate attention

The government officials have called for analysis of police-suspect encounters and police tactics for crowd control

Highly acclaimed researchers and practitioners are contributing comprehensive, current and global perspectives
