An insider view of an urban subculture! While much of the literature on police analyzes critically what they do, few works address issues of how police officers feel about their chosen profession, their worldview, or their visions. This refreshingly original and unique ethnographic contribution by anthropologist Joan Barker exposes the human element—one rarely seen by non-police—of officers working for the often-controversial L.A.P.D. During her twenty years of fieldwork, Barker gathered valuable information through formal, in-depth interviews and firsthand experiences, distilling her findings into an illuminating, coherent account. She discovers that five phases of occupational socialization normatively mold officers' experiences and perceptions. "Fleshing out" her discussion is the compelling narrative of "Fred," a traditional officer whose authentic voice reveals feelings and attitudes that manifest the essence of the human who does the job of policing.

It also discusses some issues regarding it which will serve as your guide and warning in entering this kind of business. For all they teach you in a Games Development course at college, this is the kind of practical information that is often overlooked.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone considering entering the Games Industry. I have complained in other reviews about writers who just stretch a single plot across multiple books, building each to a cliff-hanger in order to get you to buy the next book. He visited J.R.R. Most M/D's function on a much smaller scale, and indeed might lose everything, but have less to lose. Even though I am very interested in learning theory, even I became bored with these books.

This book is wonderfully direct and completely avoids the use of technical jargon. The book includes a profusion of scale plans: two enginehouses, the Clifftop company store, the line's funky caboose, coal hoppers, a trestle, a truck-to-rail coal tip
