Rezensionen

"On occasion, a book's title is so bold that the reader is eager to read it to see if the author can back up the title's assertion. Dr. Natasha Pratt-Harris' Why the Police Should be Trained by Black People is a book that not only proves what the title says, but gives compelling reasons why police training should be placed in the hands of Black people. This timely book should be studied by police academies across the nation during a period when policing is being re-examined by policy makers and those who train its officers It is also a must have handbook for citizens truly interested in police reform. This is the book I've been waiting for on law enforcement in America!" - Raymond Arnold Winbush aka Tikari Bioko, PhD, Research Professor and Director of the Institute for Urban Research at Morgan State University.

"As a thirty-six-year criminal justice professional and the President of the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice, I endorse the Book "Why the Police Should be Trained by Black People." Natasha Pratt Harris gives a compelling argument to support the need for encompassing training for police officers that include instruction in the communities they serve. Her assertion that black trainers will be more adapt at performing such actions is detailed in this book. Her research was conducted with over thirty authors who contributed their views on Blacks and police training and acknowledges the need for transformative change in the tools used to prepare police officers." - Terri McGee, President National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice.
