Considering their relationships with white colleagues as well as black and white citizens, he asks them what it was like to advance through the ranks of a historically white-dominated profession. Thompson examines common assumptions regarding the careers of these professionals, all of whom confronted, yet overcame, considerable opposition and discrimination. The results of this unprecedented exploration provide readers as well as aspiring black police executives with unique insight into the events that have shaped the philosophies of these increasingly influential social policy leaders."Criminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)Police chiefsUnited StatesAfrican American policeOccupations and racePolice chiefsAfrican American police.Occupations and race.363.2/089/96073Thompson R.
