The now-famous video tape and the trial of four Los Angeles policemen for kicking and beating Rodney King while 23 other officers looked on has precipitated a national outcry against police violence. Skolnick and Fyfe use the LAPD incident to explain why police use excessive force, and they make bold proposals for what to do about it.
