About this book

Policing: A View from the Street by Peter K. Manning. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780876206836.

Emphasizing the active nature of law enforcement even to its title, this book assembles 18 articles from the top ethnographers in the field to develop a perspective on policing based not on administrative or legalistic theories, but on firsthand, sociological data...a view from the street. Policing opens with a section on the role and mandate of the police; moves to the context of policing in America, including studies of patrol, detective, and administrative policing; to strategies of policing, to the practice of policing, and a final section on socializing for policing.
