Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Policing America
Kenneth J. Peak · 2000
63/100
👎 Skip It
Kenneth Peak brings genuine decades-deep expertise and this textbook has real staying power, having gone through many editions and years of classroom use. But this specific 2000-dated edition is well outdated compared to the newer versions of the same book, so Penny can't point you to it over the current release.
