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:
The increasingly international nature of crime underscores the need for countries to work together to control crime and terrorism. For there to be effective and efficient cooperation on the international level, it is necessary for countries to understand the structure of other police systems. The World Police Encyclopedia fulfills this need by providing a systematic survey of the police systems of all the member nations in the United Nations and Taiwan.
Written in a clear and accessible style, the World Police Encyclopedia is an essential resource that scholars, students, and those involved in working to control international and domestic crime will turn to for fact-checking and as a solid starting point for wider research and exploration.

The primary section of each entry covers the history and development of the police system, demographic profiles of the police force, organizational structures, police powers and functions, training requirements, public outreach programs by the police (if they exist), laws and regulations related to police firearm use and ownership, police accountability regarding citizen complaints and human rights, police response to terrorism, and international cooperation. When applicable a section on police education, research, and publications is included, providing an overview of higher education for police, leading researchers, funding for police research, police research publications, and police-related websites. Each entry also includes with a bibliography of cited sources and suggestions for further reading." ?Reference & Research Book News
