Opis

This book makes the case for an anthropological approach to the study of policing. Even beyond the methodological particularities and geographic breadth of cultural anthropology, there are a set of conceptual and analytical traditions that have much to contribute to broader scholarship in police studies. Including original and international contributions from both senior and emerging scholars, this pioneering book represents a foundational document for a burgeoning field of study: the anthropology of police. As such, it highlights the particular challenges as well as document the immense potential the field has to offer across criminology, criminal justice administration and sociology.
