Reviews

Luke Hunt's Police Deception and Dishonesty offers a penetrating exploration of a problem that has received less attention than that of outright police violence, but is arguably even more pervasive and pernicious. Employing his well-trained philosophical chops, and drawing on his experience as a former FBI special agent (surely, an exceptionally rare combination), Hunt offers a compelling argument for the vital role that truthful and honest policing needs to play in a liberal society. * Stuart Green, Distinguished Professor of Law, Rutgers University * Luke Hunt is one of today's leading philosophers on policing. In Police Deception and Dishonesty, he weaves together philosophy and real-world experience to show how many deceptive practices widespread in policing, whatever their short-term benefits, can have devastating consequences for police legitimacy. This book is essential reading for philosophers and practitioners alike. * Ben Jones, Assistant Director and Professor, Rock Ethics Institute, Public Policy, Penn State University *
