Scandal and Reform: Controlling Police Corruption
The last two years have been good for students of American police. To the important books by Fogelson (Big City Police), Manning (Police Work: The Organization of Policing), Muir (Streetcorner Politicians) and Goldstein (Policing a Free Society) we can now add Sherman’s book on efforts to control police corruption that grow out of scandals. If not as sweeping or descriptive as Fogelson, comprehensive as Goldstein, comparative as Manning, nor as innovative as Muir, Sherman offers us an intelligently written, clearly focused theoretically sound and empirically-grounded inquiry. This book along with his earlier collection of readings (Police Corruption: A Sociological Perspective On Its Nature and Control) clearly establishes Sherman as a major sociological figure in the study of police corruption. His topic is one of social and sociological significance about which there has been little research. The book will be of interest to students and reformers of police, and those interested in deviance and social control, public bureaucracies and the trust granted them, and more generally organizations and their environments.
