Sommario/riassunto

Die vorliegenden Bände versammeln jene Briefe, die Bertolt Brecht während der Zeit seines Exils (1933-1949) erhielt. Es handelt sich dabei um bisher zum größten Teil unveröffentlichte Briefe (Initial- ebenso wie Antwortbriefe), die komplementär zu Brechts eigenen Briefen, publiziert in der Großen Berliner und Frankfurter Ausgabe, erstmals einen umfassenden Einblick geben in seine Beziehungen zu Freunden, Geliebten, Mitarbeitern, Genossen und Geschäftspartnern. Auch über Brechts äußerst vielfältige Produktion im Exil gibt die Korrespondenz aus ganz unterschiedlichen Perspektiven Aufschluss. Von herausragender kulturgeschichtlicher Bedeutung, dokumentieren die hier versammelten Briefe das intellektuelle Leben der 1930er und 1940er Jahre in Europa und Amerika sowie die persönliche Situation vieler Intellektueller und Künstler. Unter Brechts Briefpartnern jener Jahre finden sich so bedeutende Namen wie Walter Benjamin, Arnold Zweig, Lion Feuchtwanger, Ernst Bloch, George Grosz, Erwin Piscator, Heinrich und Thomas Mann. Die Briefe werden durch eine Einleitung, Kommentare und Indizes erschlossen.

Sommario/riassunto

Because police are the most visible face of government power for most citizens, they are expected to deal effectively with crime and disorder and to be impartial. Producing justice through the fair, and restrained use of their authority. The standards by which the public judges police success have become more exacting and challenging. "Fairness and



Effectiveness in Policing" explores police work in the new century. It replaces myths with research findings and provides recommendations for updated policy and practices to guide it. The book provides answers to the most basic questions: What do police do? It reviews how police work is organized, explores the expanding responsibilities of police, examines the increasing diversity among police employees, and discusses the complex interactions between officers and citizens. It also addresses such topics as community policing, use of force, racial profiling, and evaluates the success of common police techniques, such as focusing on crime "hot spots." It goes on to look at the issue of legitimacy--how the public gets information about police work, and how police are viewed by different groups, and how police can gain community trust. "Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing" will be important to anyone concerned about police work: policy makers, administrators, educators, police supervisors and officers, journalists, and interested citizens.
