The Police Function by Arthur D. Wiechmann Drawing from class lectures tested over the past 13 years, Arthur D. Wiechmann, MA, shares an insider’s view of the role and responsibilities of the police officer and sergeant. Wiechmann’s 29 years as a police officer, of which 13 years were as a sergeant, provide a rich well of experience to draw from. This engaging text is filled with examples that bring theory to life, making learning enjoyable and interesting. Wiechmann deftly explores complex issues, bringing in applicable research, theory, and experience. He brings key issues to the forefront, such as in Chapter 5: Crime Prevention through Environmental Design, leaving many opportunities for class discussion. Wiechmann’s frank and pragmatic approach to controversial issues models critical thinking for students. Ethics, police culture, racial profiling, and police misconduct are among such topics. In his last chapter, Wiechmann applies his perspective to the Future of Policing, with illuminating results. Written by a college professor, this book is used as a text in Criminal Justice programs. A desk copy, lesson plans, and Power Points are free for adopting instructors.
