Edited by the chief librarian and associate dean at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and professor of criminal justice at City University of New York, Encyclopedia of Law Enforcement provides a thorough overview of law enforcement in the U.S and around the world. According to the introduction, the public's view of policing is significantly influenced by the popular media, which oversimplifies police work; therefore, there is "an urgent need for providing students and the general interested public balanced information on what law enforcement does, with all of its ramifications." The encyclopedia's aim "is to survey the entire field of law enforcement and to be as comprehensive as possible."

The more than 550 alphabetically arranged entries were written by 300 law enforcement scholars and practitioners. Entries are signed and include a list of recommended readings and cross-references. The work is well organized into three volumes. Volume 1 is dedicated to issues related to law enforcement at the state and local levels, and volume 2 focuses on the federal level. Volume 3 examines policing in the international arena, covering approximately 160 countries. As indicated in the topical "Reader's Guide," the text covers an extensive range of broad subject areas, including "Civilian/Private Involvement," "Federal Agencies/Organizations," "International Law Enforcement," "Personnel Issues," and "Police Procedures." Examples of specific entries include Affirmative action in policing, AMBER Alert, America's Most Wanted, Federal Bureau of Investigation , and INTERPOL. Controversial issues are not ignored, and there are entries on topics such as Civil rights violations by police; Police misconduct ; and Profiling, racial. In addition to the main text, each volume has its own extensive bibliography of scholarly, news, government, and Internet sources. An appendix in volume 2 contains articles on policing issues for 1989-2003 from the Law Enforcement News . Each volume has a comprehensive "Master Index."

The Encyclopedia of Law Enforcement is a valuable contribution to the field of criminal justice. It is accessible to students and general readers and should be particularly useful for correcting misconceptions about police work. It is recommended for academic and large public libraries.

Review
"This unique encyclopedia is separated into three volumes: State and Local, which covers aspects of policing applicable to the lives of every-day citizens; Federal and National, which emphasizes laws, organizations, and initiatives on a nation-wide scale; and International, which delves into law enforcement practices around the world. Though Sullivan (government, emeritus, John Jay Coll. of Criminal Justice) is the overall editor of the set, each volume boasts its own distinguished editors as well as a corps of academic writers. Volume 3 is uniquely valuable: there is currently no comparable source, with its articles-maps included-on police function in more than 150 countries...aimed at the general reader, law enforcement practitioners, students, and academics, the encyclopedia aims to create a more nuanced understanding of law enforcement than the one available from news media and television shows and to serve as a resource for "law enforcement as a serious academic study [now] in its second generation." Recommended for both specialized and general collections."
(Janice Dunham Library Journal 20050601)

"The Encyclopedia of Law Enforcement provides a through overview of law enforcement in the U.S. and around the world. . . . The Encyclopedia of Law Enforcement is a valuable contribution to the field of criminal justice. It is accessible to students and general readers and should be particularly useful for correcting misconceptions about police work. It is recommended for academic and large public libraries." (Michelle Hendley BOOKLIST 20050901)

More than 300 academic and professional experts have contributed 568 essays addressing such topics as civilian involvement in law enforcement, uniform crime reports, response time, drug enforcement, racial profiling, vehicle searches and whistle-blowing. . . . this set is suitable for both academic and public libraries. (John R.M. Lawrence, Reference Librarian 20060401)

"The thematic divisions offers a fine focus on different types of policing, with entries on the law enforcement system and process covering laws, areas of enforcement, legal history and more. From entries on international terrorism to drunk driving, over three hundred contributors of scholars, researchers and practitioners in different areas of law enforcement provide a reference packed with material essential for understanding the system: agencies and organizations, investigation techniques, military issues, conduct and ethical questions and much more, from the general to the specialized topic. An outstanding library reference." (MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW 20060608)

"The weight 3-volume ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LAW ENFORCEMENT isn't for the general lending collectiion but is a special and ongoing recommendation for the college collection with courses strong in criminal justice. Each volume is divided by law area: V. 1 covers State and Local, V. 2 is Federal and V. 3 is international. The thematic divisions offers a fine focus on different types of policing, with entries on the law enforcement system and process covering laws, areas of enforcement, legal history and more. From entries on international terrorism to drunk driving, over three hundred contributors of scholars, researchers and practitioners in different areas of law enforcement provide a reference packed with material essential for understanding the system: agencies and organizations, investigation techniques, military issues, conduct and ethical questions and much more, from the general to the specialized topic. An outstanding library reference." (James A. Cox The Midwest Book Review)

Introduction
The idea of this book is really quite simple. I’ve chosen the fifty best
sights based on my own lifetime of passionately seeking astronomical
wonders. I try to present them here through vivid detail and concise observing
instructions.Nothing could be more clear and simple, nor, if you wish to seek
the very heart of astronomy, any more desirable. This book offers to those seeking
the thrills of the heavens the most instant and immediately powerful gratification
of that desire possible from pages. It is, after all, astronomy honed down to
the most exciting experiences. Armchair astronomers will find all they need
to enjoy the heavens. Most people, however, will be motivated to action. They
will, I hope, be inspired, more electrifyingly than would otherwise be possible,
to get out and experience these wonders for themselves.
A remarkable thing about The 50 Best Sights in Astronomy is that no one seems
to have ever had this idea for a book before. Why did I stumble on the idea
when other people didn’t? I’ll offer my explanation in a moment.
First, I’d like to mention something else about this book that I think is
original and that you may find interesting. I’m talking about the criterion I’ve
used for determining the order in which the sights should be discussed. My
criterion is the width of the field of view necessary to enjoy the sight best.
The order is from the widest to the narrowest view. The first sight is that
of the entire starry sky on a clear night, preferably with no interfering moonlight
or city light pollution. This is a scene at least 180° wide—the angular
span of the entire dome of the sky. Of course, it’s not really possible to be so
precise as to determine that a slightly larger field of view is needed for enjoying
a bright star in its stellar setting as compared to a bright planet in its own
setting. So the book is divided into sections by width of field. The first section
includes sights that require a field ranging from that of the entire sky down
to 100 wide a broad. Each succeeding section zooms farther
in until we start looking at the magnified but also much narrower views
available through binoculars. And then the final section contains sights that
are the most magnified and narrow of all the ones viewed through telescopes.
