This book demonstrates the unique contribution police ethnographies
make to our understanding of policing cultures and practices in a
variety of international settings. It features contemporary
examples of police ethnographies that demonstrate the continuing
value of ethnographic work to our understanding of policing. The
first section of the book focuses on the police and Anglo-American
policing. The second section is international in scope and seeks to
enrich our understandings of policing ‘beyond’ the police.
Chapters explore police interactions during a stop and search and
at a carnival. They peer behind the scenes at the control room and
at the use of intelligence. We listen in to the experiences of new
recruits and the stories told in canteens. They also take us into
the world of private security agencies, to Kenya and to Vietnam.
The book explores the position of ethnographers asking: whether we
do too much with rather than on the police; and whether our work
reveals more about us as academics than them as officers. Together,
they are revealing of a changing policing landscape. Ethnography
and the Evocative World of Policing demonstrates the unique value
of ethnographic work in the fields of policing studies and
criminology. It will be a key resource for scholars and researchers
of policing, criminology, sociology, law, and research methods.The
chapters in this book were originally published in two special
issues of Policing and Society.
