This landmark 1973 study of city policemen portrays in detail work “
on the street,”the way police regard their work, the way they deal
day-by-day with suspects and criminals, with colleague and
superiors, and with the general public. Jonathan Rubinstein spent
over a year with the Philadelphia police force, riding second man
in patrol cars on all shifts, and from this experience he describes
every aspects of a policeman’s working life: his conception of the
place he polices; his sense of territory; the extent of his
knowledge of the people he polices; his technique for surveillance
of his area; his use of the tools of the trade to control people;
his complicated relationships with his coworkers and his sergeant,
who dominates his working life. And, of course, he deals
extensively with the eternal problems of corruption and brutality.
Written with great insight and without pro- or anti-police bias,
"City Police" is rich in illustrative incidents and serves as an
excellent model for future studies of police work.
