註釋

More than a hundred men and women in various aspects of law enforcement were interviewed for this unusual profile of those who are called to "serve and protect." The interviews were all conducted in Alabama, but the insights and experiences are common to the criminal justice system throughout the United States. Author Lofton's subjects ranged from the lone officer sitting in the storefront police department in Town Creek who had been an officer for more than forty years, to the college educated major in the big city Mobile Police Department. There are stories from county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies and peripheral views from prosecutors, criminal court judges, bailiffs, and probation officers. The book is not a detailed history of law enforcement. Rather, the goal was to find out what officers thought and remembered about their jobs, among the most difficult and sometimes controversial in modern society.
