Robotics and automation are becoming increasingly prevalent, and the Amazing Robots series aims to introduce young readers to the many ways robots contribute to all corners of daily life. Robots in Law Enforcement includes search-and-rescue robots, bomb-defusing robots, and surveillance drones, though given the controversial nature of some of these technologies, more targeted critical thinking questions would have been welcome. Each volume features straightforward, if at times dense, text and inset boxes that pose critical thinking questions or offer glimpses into the future of robotics. Though each title surveys a wide range of robots, the descriptions are occasionally too brief, and the broad definition of robot might raise questions: Is a body camera a robot or just a machine? Still, the full-color photos of robots in action and the high-interest nature of robotics may catch the interest of science-minded kids.

Robotics is already used to protect people in cities all around the United States. As robot technology continues to grow, patrolling human police officers could someday be a thing of the past! Humanoid robots might be rolling around city streets or heading into dangerous situations in place of police officers. From surveillance cameras to bomb disposal, the incredible robots already used in law enforcement will engage and surprise readers. The main text explains the real-life technology used today, and full-color photographs enhance the science and engineering content.
