Policing Urban Poverty provides a comprehensive and wide-ranging
analysis of the policy implications of social problems for the
welfare state in general and the police service in particular,
through an examination of the relationship between discourses on
urban poverty, crime and disorder in Britain and America. Drawing
on extensive empirical evidence, the book adds to the sociological
and historical analyses of these issues by considering their
practical relevance at different times and in different places for
police policy-makers. Throughout history the police have been
charged with the difficult task of peace-keeping and crime-fighting
in poor communities, with potentially calamitous consequences when
things go wrong. Senior police officers have argued that successive
governments have not provided adequate support and guidance to
assist them in their attempts to be tough on crime and its causes.
