The Contours of Police Integrity presents a comprehensive overview of the potential for police misconduct worldwide.

The book begins with a chapter on the methodology and issues surrounding police studies and is followed by in-depth chapters on the USA and the UK, written by leading academics in these countries. The book concludes with a capstone summary of this rapidly growing international concern.
