A Look Back at 2020 ©22
by Hal Marcovitz
For Americans, 2020 was a year in which hundreds of thousands of people lost
their lives in a deadly pandemic. Meanwhile, protesters took to the streets to
demonstrate against racial injustice, terrible storms and wildfires swept across
the country, and a divisive and caustic campaign for the presidency dominated
life. Pandemic, Protest, and Politics: A Look Back at 2020 will examine these
issues and their impacts on life in America. 978-1-6782-0182-1 • LIST: $47.95/DISC: $38.36

Policing and Race: The Debate Over
Excessive Use of Force ©21
by Jim Gallagher

How and when police use force, and what constitutes excessive force, is
central to the debate over policing and race. This book examines use-of-force
policies and training, militarization of police, the role of body cameras and
video, officer accountability, and the future of policing.
“A solid introduction for readers seeking a broad outline of the subject.”
