About This Item

The Free Press, Third Ave, New York - 1993 hardcover, 6½" x 9½", with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, etc. GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket The authors situate police use of excessive force in its historical perspective, the 'posse' and other vigilante groups, as they explore the cultural world of policing - how the values and understandings which street cops pick up as they learn their jobs affect their performance. They point to two particularly dangerous attitudes as especially likely to encourage the excessive use of force. Here is a deeply informed, timely, and revealing history (and critique) of the complex world of law enforcement.
