Abstract

THE BIBLIOGRAPHY WAS COMPILED AS A RESULT OF THE PROLIFERATION IN THE NUMBERS AND TYPES OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING PROGRAMS AND THE DEBATE ABOUT THE TYPE OF TRAINING MOST APPROPRIATE FOR POLICE OFFICERS. ATTENTION IS DIRECTED TO THE CONTROVERSIES OVER WHETHER POLICE TRAINING SHOULD BE CONTROLLED BY POLICE ACADEMIES OR BY DEGREE PROGRAMS AND WHETHER 2-YEAR DEGREES OR 4-YEAR DEGREES ARE MORE APPROPRIATE.

THE SECTION ON ADDITIONAL REPORTS AND BOOKS ON EDUCATION LISTS 40 SOURCES, MOST PUBLISHED SINCE 1971. IN ADDITION, 141 RECENT JOURNAL AND MAGAZINE ARTICLES AND 35 THESES AND DISSERTATIONS ARE LISTED.
