Police Pursuing Justice is an engaging and well-written book that provides a thorough examination of the impact of BARJ legislation on policing in three states of the United States. This book can be an excellent resource for students/scholars who are interested in restorative justice policing.

Detailed and inspired look at policing juveniles in the United States. It offers a theoretically informed, truly balanced, and evidence-based perspective. A must-read for policing and juvenile justice scholars alike, and for anyone teaching a contemporary issue or senior proseminar course.

In their book, Police Pursuing Justice: Reframing Law Enforcement for the Twenty-First Century, Samantha Bennett and Jonathon Cooper, lay out a compelling argument applicable to modern day law enforcement. The highlight of this text is the simplicity they used to discuss difficult, and often dense, topics. For example, their breakdown of topics such as the case law around discretion, Klinger’s Ecological Theory of police discretion, and the methodological applications for their research, to name a few. Despite the academic approach to topics, I found this book engaging, easy to read, and thought-provoking.
