When you think about the police, who do you think of: Do you think of one officer, or the police as an institution? From movies and TV to the real world, a police presence looms over most conflict. But if there was a defining feature of the 2020 protests over the murder of George Floyd, it was the collective confusion about how America got to this point. Despite fragmented media coverage about police unions, militarization, and systemic racism, the average citizen’s knowledge remained hazy on what exactly police officers had been doing all along. It’s probably different than you would expect.

We like to think that we're gradually making progress towards equality.

With misogyny being baked into their design, these technologies are dragging women back to the dark ages.

And if you think this is just a “girl problem,” think again. Men, this book is for you too. You’ve seen this behavior at home, at work, online. Maybe it’s been aimed at you. Maybe your daughter has been ...

NEW REFORMAT FOR KINDLE I have had the opportunity to review and read THE THIN BLUE LIFELINE and I cannot recommend this book highly enough. This moves policing communication so far beyond "Verbal Judo" and "Tac Com" that those systems cannot even compare (though, to be sure, there are some similar techniques that they utilise in those systems). It is relevant, well-written, operationally-based, and goes to the heart of the matter in dealing with people who are in crisis - not just for dealing with "mentally ill" folks - but virtually everyone with whom police officers come into contact....

"Exploring Beyond Beliefs" germinated from a seed of innate curiosity that found its roots in my childhood; I was a seeker, always pushing the boundaries of accepted truths and daring to question the world presented to me.

Yet, it was this very spirit of inquiry that fueled my journey into writing this book. ...
