Beskrivning
The Cambridge Handbook of Policing in the United States provides a comprehensive collection of essays on police and policing, written by leading experts in political theory, sociology, criminology, economics, law, public health, and critical theory. It unveils a range of experiences - from the police chief of a major metropolitan force to ordinary people targeted for policing on the street - and asks important questions about whether and why we need the police, before analyzing the law of policing, police use of force, and police violence, paying particular attention to the issue of discrimination against marginalized and vulnerable communities at the blunt end of police interference. The book also discusses technological innovations and proposals for reform. Written in accessible language, this interdisciplinary work will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the present and future of policing in the United States.

Recensioner i media

'This is not your average book about policing. It draws from a wide range of disciplines - not just law and criminology, but political science, sociology and economics - to provide a rich tapestry of insights into what policing is, its benefits and dangers, and how it should change. If you want to understand modern debates about policing, including whether it should continue to exist at all, this book is a must read.' Christopher Slobogin, Milton Underwood Professor Law, Vanderbilt University Law School
