Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Policing as an occupation is rife with opportunities for corruption. As recent scandals in Los Angeles and New York demonstrate, police officers, the 'blue knights' entrusted and empowered with legal enforcement, often en up on the wrong side of the law. Despite its suspected prevalence, no comprehensive analysis of police corruption has been published for nearly three decades. Fallen Blue Knights provides a systematic, in-depth analysis of the subject, while also addressing the question of what can be done to ensure successful corruption control. Ivkovic argues that the current mechanisms for control; the courts, prosecutors, independent commissions, and the media, as well as the internal control mechanisms within a police agency itself; suffer from severe shortcomings that substantially limit their effectiveness. In this much-needed analysis, Ivkovic redefines the roles of major players and develops a novel, comprehensive model of corruption control.
