'Muir's book deals wit police, but it is unbelievably multifaceted. It reports research results, unfolds a theory, creates a taxonomy and addresses issues of public policy. The psychological contribution is a richly illustrated classification of patrolmen, of their value, work styles, and most specifically of their ways of coping with existential problems in policing.' - Hans Toch, Contemporary Psychology Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
