Recenzje

Skogan's work is a masterclass on how to evaluate policing policy from a multitude of angles, consolidating three decades of research to produce the most comprehensive possible examination of stop and frisk in a major American city. For scholars and practitioners alike, Stop & Frisk and the Politics of Crime in Chicago is a much-needed intervention in the field, stripping political agenda as much as possible and instead presenting the reality of the stop and frisk's impacts.
