An Ethnography

Rezensionen

"Built upon an impressive mountain of empirical research, the book shows in great detail how police actively create 'the other' in both discourse and action and how that creation itself is influenced by the wider political and social context. O'Brien-Olinger's deft combination of evidence and theory makes this book of interest far beyond policing scholars." (Jesse S. G. Wozniak, American Journal of Sociology, 2016)
