Policing in America
This book maps the development of modern policing—both theory and practice—from humans' first efforts at social control, through the British roots of modern policing, to the unique institution of American policing today. How Americans view police has varied dramatically through history. In 1856, New York police opposed wearing uniforms because they felt it represented a militaristic and nondemocratic type of organization. Today, our police model themselves on the military and use military tactics in the "war" on drugs. Policing in America: A Reference Handbook chronicles our changing ideas and methods of social control, beginning with the first recorded instances. It traces the trends that have shaped America's unique policing system and our fascination with police. It also examines the hot-button issues that concern police scholars today—such as the nature of the police subculture and police corruption—and details the trends and issues that will shape the future of policing. An essential reference for those interested in—and affected by—the American system of policing, which impacts us all.
The Illumination of History
The Illumination of History is a Festschrift in honor of Glen L. Thompson, professor emeritus at Wisconsin Lutheran College (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) and Asia Lutheran Seminary (Hong Kong). Among Thompson’s works in various areas of church history are The Correspondence of Julius I (2015), In This Way We Came to Rome: With Paul on the Appian Way (2023 with Mark Wilson), and Jingjiao: The Earliest Christian Church in China (2024). This Festschrift celebrates Thompson’s broad contributions in church history with twenty-two essays on New Testament history, patristic history, patristic historiography, papal history, Chinese Christian history, and historical languages. All of these essays serve as examples of how the study of history can provide illumination for the church.
