Social Change Through Training and Education: Volume III- The 'Clothing' for Effective Policing: Cultural Competency, Spirituality and Ethics (Cultura - Paperback

by E. Beverly Young (Author)

Volume 3--The 'Clothing' of Effective Policing: Cultural Competency, Spirituality and Ethics continues my discussion about the humanity of policing. For this writing, I give attention to the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional dimensions of humankind.

I use clothing metaphorically to describe more than something to cover body parts. Clothing refers to preparation of the heart, soul, and mind for tasks associated with policing.

I came up with the idea while studying scripture, substituting the word clothing for armor, both words understood to refer to protecting the body and mind-set. In the Bible, clothing and colors were symbolic.
