Recenzje

'Brandon Del Pozo's book utilizes a Rawlsian framework to provide a normative framework for policing. To date, his is the most detailed and sophisticated attempt to do so. Whether one ultimately accepts this approach or some alternative, such as a rights-based approach, his book is a significant contribution to police ethics.' Seumas Miller, Charles Sturt University, Delft University of Technology and University of Oxford
