Beskrivning

Are the recent scandals around UK policing the product of a temporary crisis or rather inscribed deep in the police institution? This timely book presents a critical perspective on key areas of current controversy: policing and communities; policing and protest; and policing and gender.Bringing together researchers and community activists, the book gives voice to the lived experiences of those more likely to be subjected to police misconduct and discrimination. It challenges current thinking on police from both abolitionist and reformist perspectives, offering a fresh take on recent crises and attempts at reform.

'By mobilizing academic research and insights from on-the-ground organizers, this volume brings into relief the stark crisis facing UK policing and the ways in which it is a permanent crisis stemming from the core nature of the policing institution. It will be certain to stimulate productive debates about how we produce truly safe and just communities.' Alex S. Vitale, City University of New York
