Sheriffs, marshals, and bounty hunters are remembered as relics of
our Wild West past. Pope looks at these agents of the law who
operate outside police departments, particularly their roles in
urban areas. She examines reasons for becoming a sheriff, marshal
(usually appointed and not elected), or bounty hunter, as well as
employment requirements, responsibilities, and relationships with
local police and city officials. Pope argues ultimately that these
law enforcers, to a much greater degree than the police, threaten
low-income people. Urban sheriffs do not make arrests, but rather
serve summonses, track down scofflaws, and confiscate property.
Marshals carry out evictions. Bounty hunters are usually armed and
work often in urban areas, hunting down wanted persons for a
variety of crimes. Although they are not policemen, they are
authorized to capture people and can do so without the restrictions
imposed on traditional law enforcement officers. Pope focuses her
attention on sheriffs, marshals, and bounty hunters in Arizona, New
Jersey, New Mexico and New York. She examines their activities in
the nineteenth century and today, providing interviews with
sheriffs, marshals, bounty hunters, policemen, and with people who
have been pursued by them. A work of interest to students,
researchers, and citizens concerned with the workings of the U.S.
criminal justice system.
