Synopsis "Policing in Israel: Studying Crime Control, Community, and Counterterrorism"
"It is hoped that, through this series, it will be possible to accelerate the process of building knowledge about policing and help bridge the gap between the two worlds--the world of police research and police practice.

They replicate findings from English-speaking countries on key issues such as hot-spots policing, thereby supporting the validity of the findings and enabling a wider scope of generalization. Also, they utilize unique Israeli conditions to address questions that are difficult to test in other countries, such as in counterterrorism. Finally, they ask innovative questions in the study of policing that are yet to be addressed elsewhere.Aside from providing better knowledge about policing in Israel, the broader advances in police science that the book illustrates play an important role.

Policing in Israel gives you not only a broad picture of Israeli policing and police research in the past decad
