The book brings scholars together to discuss a variety of important topics concerning police and policing. Developments and problems associated with police power are at the very front of current public debate. In the broader constellation of the culture of modern crime control, police institutions enjoy a privileged status. Continued developments in technology and surveillance have affected policing as have continued and new crime problems. Not least of all, of course, the legitimacy of policing has recently been questioned because of several highly-publicized incidents involving police violence. The chapters in this book provide clarification on these and related aspects of police and policing in society. This collection is valuable for students and scholars in sociology, criminology, law, political science, and public policy.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Law & PoliticsBook Series: Sociology of Crime, Law and DevianceTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
