The Cambridge Handbook of Policing in the United States provides a comprehensive collection of essays on police and policing, written by leading experts in political theory, sociology, criminology, economics, law, public health, and critical theory. It unveils a range of experiences - from the police chief of a major metropolitan force to ordinary people targeted for policing on the street - and asks important questions about whether and why we need the police, before analyzing the law of policing, police use of force, and police violence, paying particular attention to the issue of discrimination against marginalized and vulnerable communities at the blunt end of police interference. The book also discusses technological innovations and proposals for reform. Written in accessible language, this interdisciplinary work will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the present and future of policing in the United States.

J. Eric Miller grew up in a cabin in the woods of Colorado. That experience of silence, darkness, and depth is evident throughout the stories in this book. Typical is "Invisible Fish," in which a night clerk in a mall pet store tortures the animals at night. Dumbfounded, the storeowners bludgeon to death a chimpanzee, the only animal in the store they imagine is capable of such atrocities. An entry in the new series "Soft Skull ShortLit -- Pocket Books for a New World, " this book deals with the strange and often violent manifestations of desire with an eye to deconstructing and diffusing them. These are edgy short stories that explore the boundless human capacity for cruelty.
