Recensioner i media

"In summary, Squires and Kennison's book gives detailed and useful accounts of some of the major police shooting incidents of the last 20 years and some of the controversy and problems that surrounded them, particularly with regard to failures in police operations management...book will no doubt be of interest to a wide audience of students and policy makers concerned to understand more about such a widely misunderstood subject." (British Journal of Criminology, January 2011)
