Bartels1st ed. 2014.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (49 p.)SpringerBriefs in Policing,2194-6213Description based upon print version of record.3-319-02364-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.History -- Overview of Volunteer Programs -- Laws Governing Volunteer Police -- Dangers Facing Volunteer Police Units -- International Comparison.This work examines in-depth the phenomenon of volunteer policing in the United States. Due to a combination of municipal budget cuts, decreased manpower, and a renewed interest in community partnership, everyday citizens are increasingly joining the police rank and file. This trend provides low-cost solutions for a number of policing problems, but also brings its own special challenges and considerations. This work provides a historical overview of volunteer police in the United States and abroad; an practical overview of volunteer programs throughout the United States including training programs, requirements and qualifications; a close examination of two central types of laws governing volunteer police units: the "Stand Your Ground" law and the "Good Samaritan" law; and overview of the dangers that can face volunteer police units, and a comparative analysis with volunteer programs worldwide. It will be of interest to researchers in police studies, criminal justice administration, and for policymakers and practitioners working with police organization and training. .SpringerBriefs in Policing,2194-6213CriminologySocial policyCriminology and Criminal Justice, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B0000Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020Criminology.Social policy.Criminology and Criminal Justice, general.Social Policy.353.36Bartels Elizabeth Cauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1228527BOOK9910484688303321Volunteer Police in the United States2852034UNINA
