Publisher Synopsis
"This study should be of great value to scholars, advanced students, and police practitioners."-Choice "Not only is the book extremely well researched and complete with references and citations of the scientific literature pertaining to police misconduct studies, but the writing style is accessible to a general audience as it uses a character-driven model of police misconduct cases and examples."-Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books "Jammed Up is a must-read for police scholars and practitioners who want to understand police misconduct and how it impacts officers and organizations. Robert Kane and Michael White brilliantly weave their analysis of bad policing into layers of information that help us understand good policing. This comprehensive volume helps us understand how to investigate police misconduct and how to understand it. It is a complex book that uncovers the dark side of policing but keeps it in its proper context." -Geoffrey P. Alpert,co-author of Policing: Continuity and Change "Jammed Up provides a lively empirical study of career-ending misconduct in the NYPD from the late 1970s through the 1990s. Interpreted through the lens of criminological theories of deviance and enriched by sketches of police officer miscreants, Jammed Up will be of interest to students, scholars and members of the general public who are curious about the causes of police delinquency."-Jennifer Hunt,author of Seven Shots: An NYPD Raid on a Terrorist Cell and Its Aftermath "This inside look at bad cops comes with a powerful corollary that demands further exploration: 'Good policing is not the absence of police misconduct.'"-New York Times Read more...
