The Watch
This heartfelt memoir of a long career in Canadian policing captures the ups and downs, the challenges and rewards, and the transformative impact that the profession has on people who devote their lives to it.

Big Crime and Big Policing
Following money over national borders, banking systems, casinos, and free trade zones, as well as the world of the corrupt elites, Big Crime and Big Policing brings new scholarly and practical insights into our understanding of the interplay of money, crime, and policing on the grand scale. In this wide-ranging volume, a mixed group of scholars and practitioners aim to show how money dictates the scope and nature of financial and corporate crimes, and the impact of these crimes on national economies, social institutions, and communal well-being alike. The book examines how the combined efforts of governments and international organizations fail to stop financial crime at its source and, despite apparently generous human and financial resources, police and law enforcement efforts ultimately fall short of defeating big crime and of meeting public safety needs. International in scope, Big Crime and Big Policing provides fresh reflection on a significant problem of our age, one that demands greater attention from governments and the public.
