This landmark 1973 study of city policemen portrays in detail work "on the street,"the way police regard their work, the way they deal day-by-day with suspects and criminals, with colleague and superiors, and with the general public. Jonathan Rubinstein spent over a year with the Philadelphia police force, riding second man in patrol cars on all shifts, and from this experience he describes every aspects of a policeman's working life: his conception of the place he polices; his sense of territory; the extent of his knowledge of the people he polices; his technique for surveillance of his area; his use of the tools of the trade to control people; his complicated relationships with his coworkers and his sergeant, who dominates his working life. And, of course, he deals extensively with the eternal problems of corruption and brutality.Written with great insight and without pro- or anti-police bias, City Police is rich in illustrative incidents and serves as an excellent model for future studies of police work.

Hugo and Bridgit are neighbors and friends who tell each other about their likes and dislikes -- things that interest them and things they like to do. Then, with grownups' guidance, they visit interesting places where they might like to work when they grow up. Kids who open these books are taken along with Hugo and Bridgit on excursions to building sites, observatories, a fire house, a police department, and to the scene of fires and accidents where firemen, policemen, and rescue teams are at work. Bridgit and Hugo ask questions that most young readers would ask, and get intelligent answers that make good sense to kids. But they also have to answer questions on their own. The kind of answers they give will help them understand their own interests, special abilities, and dislikes. This way, boys and girls can figure out which careers will give them the most satisfaction and success when they grow up and go out on the job. Books mix cartoon-style illustrations with photos of fascinating work places, all in full color. (Ages 7-10)When the kids help the police catch a purse snatcher, they are invited to police headquarters, where they
