Summary

The author spent six years observing three American police departments and two British constabularies in order to determine what effects analytic tools have had on modern police management and practices. While modern technology allows the police to combat crime in sophisticated, detail-oriented ways, he discovers that police strategies and tactics have not been altogether transformed as perhaps would be expected.
