'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
'This important and compelling book brings together the nation's
leading experts on the law, political theory, sociology, and
criminology of policing. The authors tackle some of the most urgent
contemporary debates in policing, including uses of force,
technological innovations, street level police practices, and
reform proposals. This book is required reading for anyone
interested in the law and practice of policing in the United
States.' L. Song Richardson, Dean of University of California
Irvine School of Law
'This volume provides an excellent array of perspectives on
policing in 28 essays by an impressive collection of respected
authors. They deal with the good and bad aspects of operation of
police on the street and provide strong understanding of the
problems and approaches to improving their performance in the
diverse communities of America.' Alfred Blumstein, Carnegie Mellon
University
'This sophisticated collection brings together a rich group of
thinkers and viewpoints. Offering an elegant mix of policy
expertise, community perspectives, social science, legal theory,
and philosophy, it is at once critical and appreciative of the
complex role played by policing throughout our democracy. The book
is strongly interdisciplinary - it melds scholarship on social
vulnerability and race with inquiries into such wide-ranging topics
as police unions, technology, big data, and violence. Scholars,
students, and experts alike will learn much from this provocative
volume.' Alexandra Natapoff, University of California and author of
