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." 410 0$aCriminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC) 606 $aPolice chiefs$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican American police 606 $aOccupations and race 615 0$aPolice chiefs 615 0$aAfrican American police. 615 0$aOccupations and race. 676 $a363.2/089/96073 700 $aThompson$b R.
