Fallen Blue Knights [EPUB ebook] 
Controlling Police Corruption

Despite its suspected prevalence, no comprehensive analysis of police corruption has been published for nearly three decades. Fallen Blue Knights provides a systematic, in-depth analysis of the subject, while also addressing the question of what can be done to ensure successful corruption control. Kutnjak Ivkovi argues that the current mechanisms for control–the courts, prosecutors, independent commissions, and the media, as well as the internal control mechanisms within a police agency itself–suffer from severe shortcomings that substantially limit their effectiveness. In this much-needed analysis, Kutnjak Ivkovi redefines the roles of major players and develops a novel, comprehensive model of corruption control.
