I’ve been buying my book from amazon for about 4 years and never had a problem until now. the book is in perfect condition, but it took amazon about 2 weeks just to ship it out. Which suck because I needed the book for class. This is the first time this has happened usually within a day or two they send the item out, i don’t know what happened this time. But other than that everything was good. and this is the first time they have been late so I’ll give them another chance.

This is a comprehensive overview of international policing using a sophisticated and synthetic theoretical approach. However, the theory largely takes a backseat to the empirical narrative. There is a slight civil libertarian bias, especially with respect to the war on drugs. Finally, some of their concepts are fuzzy, such as “entrepreneur” which seems to have several meanings throughout the book. Overall, a very good book. A must read for anyone interested in this topic.
