Reconsidering Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement: Practices, Policies, and Paradigms by Gene Ira Katz is a fascinating book that examines the current practices and trends of American law enforcement. The book contains 18 chapters that touch upon a range of topics like false convictions, the International Criminal Court (ICC), and much more. Furthermore, the book provides numerous practical and strategic methods to increase fairness, diversity, and equality in the justice system, as well as strengthen ties between the police and the community.

There were several aspects of the book that I enjoyed, with the fact that the author discussed several themes, perspectives, and policies being the first. I learned a lot from the book regarding women in American policing, the effects of racial profiling, culture, common public misconceptions about law enforcement, and how law enforcement personnel can use self-care methods to address anxiety, depression, and much more. I also liked the fact that each chapter was organized and included an introduction, conclusion, and references, which aided in my understanding of the contents. Additionally, the book included data and results from scientific research articles, which provided credibility to the statements instead of just providing opinions.

While I enjoyed reading the book, I did notice a couple of errors that detracted from my overall reading experience. I believe that revising the contents of the book will help in plucking out the typos and enhancing the viewer's reading experience.

For the above reasons, I rate the book 4 out of 5 stars, with one star cut for the errors I noticed. Overall, it was an engaging read, and I gained quite a bit of knowledge about the U.S.’s law enforcement. It touched on several topics of interest, which I was excited to read about. I would recommend this book to students, professors, and anyone who wants to learn more about law enforcement.

The law enforcement is the United States of America has been under the spotlight in the last decade. Accusations of racial profiling, racism, abuse, and torture has made people view this important aspect of society in a bad light. Which means I am interested to learn what this book has to put forward to reform this perspective. Your review was amazing. I will be on the lookout for the book.
