Agents of Change: A Study of Police Reform

J. Douglas Grant

0/5 ( ratings)

Are people capable of change? Specifically, can policemen change when they have a history of involvement in violent incidents? The question presses not only on students of psychology and criminal justice, but also on the whole public in an age when violence permeates our society and "police brutality" becomes a battle cry against our law enforcement officials.

The authors of Agents of Change say YES, asserting that efforts for reform can no longer remain the sole province of academicians. These three practicing social psychologists spent two years with the Oakland, CA Police Department influencing and changing at first hand the attitudes and methods of policemen. Their goal was to reduce violence between police and civilians. Agents of Change is a record of their success.
