Sixth Edition C 2026
Robustly researched yet accessible, this thoroughly updated edition of Canadian Police Work from Curt T. Griffiths and co-author Joshua J. Murphy includes a plethora of examples from the field, examining contemporary issues in policing.
Building on the foundational themes of previous edition-moral and ethical dimensions of police work, police accountability, police leadership, the police and vulnerable and at-risk persons, the mental health of police officers, the role of technology – this sixth edition adds new content on intersectionality; the lived experience of policing . Marginalized communities; and the differences between rural, urban, suburban, and remote policing across Canada.
With engaging boxes such as Focus on Police Work, Police File, and myriad interviews with officers currently working in the field (Police Perspectives), Canadian Police Work challenges students to think critically and in depth about policing in contemporary society.
