Ethnography has a long history in the humanities and social
sciences and has provided the base line in the field of police
studies for over sixty years. We have recently witnessed a
resurgence in ethnographic practice amongst police scholars and
this Handbook is a response to that revival. Students and academics
are returning to the ethnography arena and the study of police in
situ to explain the evocative worlds of the police. The list of
ethnographic sites is vast and have all fed the rejuvenation of
ethnographic endeavour. Together they suggest innovation,
theoretical depth, broad geographical boundaries, multi-site
experiments and multi-disciplinarity; all of which are central to
the exploration of police and policing in the 21st century. This
Handbook encapsulates the revival of police ethnography by
exploring its multidisciplinary field and cataloguing the ongoing
ethnographic work. It offers an original and international
contribution to the field of police studies and research methods,
providing a comprehensive and overarching guide to police
ethnography. We see the previous classics in every page and note
still the influence of the early ethnographers. At the same time,
we see the innovative breadth and diversity of these narratives.
The aim of this Handbook is to highlight the mosaic that is police
ethnography at a point in time and note with pleasure its
contribution to the field once more. Ethnography may be messy,
difficult and at times uncooperative, but its results offer a
unique insight into the perspectives of people and organisations
that can hide in plain sight. An accessible and compelling read,
this Handbook will provide a sound and essential reference source
for academics, researchers, students and practitioners engaged in
police and criminal justice studies.
