In the fifth chapter of Walker's book, he discusses the idea that we can reduce the crime rate if we "unleash" the cops and give them more skills, deterring crime future actions through more severe punishment and that we should imprison more criminals and for longer periods. The author of 14 books on issues related to crime, policing, and the policies related to those issues, Walker holds the title of professor emeritus of criminal justice at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, where he has taught for many years, although since he never taught there again. 2005. Before that, in 1973, he acquired a Ph.D. in American History from The Ohio State University, which is his highest degree to date. Walker has written and researched numerous topics involving the criminal justice system and as such has in-depth insight into the world of law and policing. In this particular chapter that I'm focusing on, Walker addresses the topic of "defunding the cops," a concept that he says conservatives believe is one of the main solutions to decreasing crime. In the Conservatives' crime control agenda, they expect ever more rigorous police patrols, which would be achieved by expanding the number of units available for patrolling, focused on an intense crackdown on specific crimes or a general focus on certain areas and crimes as a whole. They also expect the criminal justice system to give the police generally more powers that would otherwise be limited by the Constitution regarding obtaining evidence and coercing guilty admissions. By addressing these ideas with solid research and planning objectives, researchers have devised two basic crime-fighting strategies that can increase police effectiveness. The first Community Policing strategy, which immediately addresses… middle of the paper… reliable statistics and carefully worded statements did not seem as if the author was overly pushing for his own point of view but instead wanted to share as many factual statements in a way that the reader can reach their own logical conclusion together with the author without leaving room for a reasonable argument that they have not already addressed at some point in the chapter. His opinions and statements, in my opinion, are accurate and logical reasoning based on legitimate evidence, and for anyone who wanted to discuss the idea of ​​giving the police full access to everything without limitations, this would show them where such a policy could and most likely would go wrong . I would recommend the book, as a whole, to those interested in the more sociological aspect of the criminal justice system as Walker does a more than adequate job of narrating facts and illustrating concepts..
