This book presents important advances in Israeli police science based on empirical data during the past decade while making significant contributions to broader aspects of the policing literature. It addresses major issues that are of as much contemporary interest beyond Israeli borders, including crime control, police community relationships, and policing terrorism. It gives not only a broad picture of Israeli policing and police research in the past decade, but also carries critical implications for policing scholars and practitioners around the world.
