An up-close account of policing during the Ferguson protests,
providing insights from both police officers and members of the
community Policing Unrest presents the frontline experiences of
police officers during the intense three weeks of protest, vigils,
looting, violence, and large civil demonstrations in and around
Ferguson, Missouri, following the fatal shooting of Michael Brown
by a police officer. Looking closely at the lived experiences of
police officers and community residents, Tammy Rinehart Kochel
raises important questions about police-community relations and the
role of police as peacekeepers in support of social justice.
Drawing on interviews with dozens of police personnel who policed
the protests, Kochel offers insight into their shared experiences
and provides compelling personal accounts of how they performed
their jobs during the protest. The book covers a range of topics
such as police-community relationships and community policing
principles; how factors such as police subculture and
organizational culture stacked up against social identity during
this crisis; the role of an officer's characteristics, especially
an officer's race, play in an officer's self-legitimacy; and the
implications for police recruitment and training. Kochel's unique
access allowed her to provide a balanced perspective on police
officers' cynicism and public protests against police that were
rampant in the year following Ferguson against the need to restore
police-community relations and police legitimacy through increased
transparency, accountability, and procedural justice. Policing
Unrest explains how the Ferguson protests ushered in an era of
police reform and reveals what it is like being a police officer
facing public unrest, particularly in the wake of widely publicized
incidents of police brutality around the country.
