This ethnographic study, which includes participant observation
research and in-depth interviews with police officers in a major
California city and a large East Coast city, explores how police
officers use their discretionary time on the job--and the
consequences. Providing highly textured insights into police
discretion, the authors show that America's "tough on crime"
approach to justice has too often proved to be a smoke screen for
controlling people deemed undesirable, rather than a genuinely
effective strategy for reducing crime.
