Rezensionen
"In summary, Squires and Kennison's book gives detailed and useful accounts of some of the major police shooting incidents of the last 20 years and some of the controversy and problems that surrounded them, particularly with regard to failures in police operations management...book will no doubt be of interest to a wide audience of students and policy makers concerned to understand more about such a widely misunderstood subject."
'This timely book provides an insightful and accessible overview of a widely misunderstood subject: police use of firearms. It deserves to become essential reading for students, academics, policy makers, politicians and police officers as well as for a wider public concerned about police use of deadly force.'
