Skogan (political science, Northwest University) and Frydl, director of the Committee to Review Research on Police Policy and Practices, 2000-2003, explain the results of a two-year study on how police work is organized, the expanding responsibilities of police, diversity among police employees, and the complex interactions between officers and citizens. The report overviews the development of police research and American policing, then examines issues related to the effectiveness of police activities, the impact of community, organizational, and governmental factors on the police, and police compliance with constitutional, statutory, and professional norms.
