This book examines the use of force by military and civilian police and the resulting rift between the public and the police. Real cases demonstrate the complexities of keeping the peace and why confrontations tip toward violence. Bolgiano dissects the role of the Internet and the press in creating tensions. Specific solutions, especially enhanced training opportunities, are enumerated.
