"Jeffery Walker and Craig Hemmens’s Legal Guide for Police: Constitutional Issues is hands down the best book available for anyone who is interested in understanding the complexities of how the U.S. Constitution and case law is applied in policing today. It is a must read for undergraduate, graduate, and law school students, as well as practitioners in the field." Tony Gaskew, Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Pittsburgh, Bradford
"In Legal Guide for Police, Jeffrey Walker and Craig Hemmens, two of the nation’s preeminent legal scholars, provide exceptionally effective, clear explanations of the details and nuances of police officers’ legal authority. Police officers, as well as students and citizens interested in policing, will benefit from the authors’ careful attention to the circumstances in which specific rules apply. The thorough, well-written coverage of recent court decisions makes the book an essential resource for officers and invaluable teaching tool for instructors seeking to provide up-to-date knowledge about changing areas of law."
