STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the release of Policing in America: Exam Cram, the third in a new series of apps for the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad based on Elsevier books. The first two apps, NeuroApps: MRI Atlas of Human White Matter and ChemApps: Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis (SANROS), are also available on the App Store.
Created from the textbook Policing in America, by Larry Gaines and Victor Kappeler, Policing in America: Exam Cram provides students with a set of user-friendly quizzes that test the student's knowledge of policing basics, including personnel systems; organisation and management; operations; discretion; use of force; culture and behaviour; ethics and deviance; civil liability; and police-community relations.
Policing in America: Exam Cram is available exclusively on the App Store. It enables students to test their knowledge of a wide range of subjects extracted from the book using unique features. It is projected to be ideal for undergraduate students in introductory policing courses.
