New Fourth Edition of the acclaimed and foundational study of police culture and practice, political accountability, application of and obedience to the rule of law in stops and arrests, and the dilemma of law versus order in free societies -- by the renowned sociologist Jerome Skolnick using innovative and influential research techniques in law and criminology. A respected scholar of the early law and society movement, Skolnick interviewed police and criminals, rode extensively with detectives and attended interrogations, and ultimately saw police conduct and mentality from the inside, before such methodology became popular. Every student of law and society knows this book, and it is available again with a new Foreword by Candace McCoy and a new Preface by the author. Fifty years after his innovative research began, the continuity and change of policing and law is seen again, in all its richness and nuance.

A New York City police lieutenant is facing trial for attempted murder of a prostitute he shot while off duty. The Police Department has proclaimed him a hero who justly defended himself when he was attacked by two hookers with a knife. He is being prosecuted by a young Manhattan assistant D.A. newly assigned the case for trial. The shooting happened four years earlier, when the prosecutor was still in law school, and no one in the D.A.´s Office has brought it to trial in all that time. It falls to him to try to penetrate the cover-up and prove that the police framed the two hookers with phony robbery charges and planted a knife at the scene to protect the lieutenant. This would present a daunting challenge for even a veteran trial advocate, much less a lawyer of limited experience. Reminiscent of prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi´s account of the Charlie Manson case in Helter Skelter, Flake is as real as a true-crime story can get. You the reader sit at the prosecutor´s table in the Manhattan courthouse as the young but resourceful prosecutor takes on the challenge of going up against the police, usually a prosecutor´s ally in battling crime. You are in on his stratagems - indeed his very thoughts - as he engages in courtroom combat against the cop and his highly experienced defense lawyer. Woven throughout are connections to the Watergate scandal, the N.Y.C. Knapp Commission investigation into police corruption, the shameful Kitty Genovese episode which led to New York being labeled a city of people who didn´t care. With a mid-1970s Manhattan backdrop, Flake grapples with the centuries-old quandary which continues to challenge our criminal justice system and our society as a whole: Who polices the police?

Here's a new, hard look at what went wrong in one of America's most devastating trials, revealing for the first time many details about problems in a case that the public assumed was certain to lead to convictions.Usually known as the "McDuffie cops case," it involved the trial of five white Miami police officers accused of killing black motorcyclist Arthur McDuffie or attempting to cover up the way he died. On May 17, 1980, the cops were acquitted of all charges. Black neighborhoods erupted. Eighteen were killed. Property damage was $100 million.What happened in that courtroom? This book offers not only new revelations about one of the most important trials in 20th Century America - but also a fresh perspective on the complexities of high-publicity, high-pressure cases down to the present day, especially those involving police officers charged with killing unarmed civilians. In many of these high-file cases, the media - and the public -- often focuses on the accusations without fully comprehending the maneuvering that defense attorneys do in the courtroom to sway jurors.So it was in the McDuffie case. The verdicts astonished almost everyone in Miami: "Simply numbing, impossible to comprehend," moaned one editorial writer. In fact, for those lawyers in the courtroom - prosecutors and defense - the verdicts were easy to comprehend. The state's case was a mess.That's the underlying theme of this book - released on the 40th anniversary of the verdicts and riots. Truth is, the state's first four witnesses contradicted each other in profound ways. All of them were cops, testifying against other cops. The prosecutor admitted long after the trial was over: "Boy, they were terrible witnesses."Even the lead homicide detective in the case confessed years later he wasn't surprised at the verdicts: "Had I been on that jury, I might have had those same doubts."These opinions don't diminish the underlying evidence that showed clearly that Arthur McDuffie was murdered. The autopsy concluded that the blows on his skull by a nightstick or heavy police flashlight must have been administered when he was lying on the ground or propped against a wall. His hands showed no defensive wounds: He wasn't resisting. "Murder," said the coroner. Still, as one defense attorney put it, "the question is who did what?"In the 40 years since, the acquittals have often been blamed on "an all-white jury," as if that were sufficient explanation. Of course, there are many different kinds of whites, and this book will describe how one of the prosecution's mistakes was selecting "law-and-order" men who tended naturally to sympathize with the cops on trial.Throughout the book is a running commentary on the day-by-day court proceedings by James B. Lees, a nationally renowned trial attorney. He's an ex-cop, ex-prosecutor who has tried over 400 cases. After the profound contradictions of just the first two state witnesses, he remarked: "At that point who - white, black, or green - would give any credence to this type of testimony and evidence?"

In February 1999, Amadou Diallo, a young immigrant from the West African country of Guinea, was shot to death on the doorstep of his Bronx apartment building. Four police officers -- Sean Carrol, Edward McMellon, Kenneth Boss, and Richard Murphy -- fired forty-one shots at Diallo, who was unarmed. Were they reckless cops who shot first and asked questions later, or were they men under pressure who made a tragic mistake? In The Trial of the Police Officers in the Shooting Death of Amadou Diallo: A Headline Court Case, Bryna J. Fireside tackles this difficult question. She takes a close look at the shooting, the trial that followed, and the controversial verdict. And she discusses the impact the case has had on police forces and the communities they are sworn to serve. Book jacket.

A small-time gambler shot dead in the heart of Times Square. Gangland gunmen and conspirators running for cover. A cop on the take charged with murder and facing execution. New York in 1912, a city in transformation. Award-winning journalist and author Stanley Cohen has re-created the infamous Becker-Rosenthal affair in a book that reads like a historical Law & Order. Lieutenant Charles Becker was convicted of orchestrating the slaying of Herman "Beansie" Rosenthal after Beansie had exposed the officer as the centerpiece of "The System" — the Big Apple's network of police graft and political corruption. The case was front-page news in New York City for three years until Officer Becker was sent to Sing Sing's electric chair, and its effects were felt in city hall, the state capital, and throughout the nation. The old System was dismantled, and criminal geniuses like Arnold Rothstein filled the void and created organized crime as we know it today. Yet, nearly a century later, there is still good reason to believe that Becker, while clearly a dirty cop, may have had nothing to do with the murder of Rosenthal.
