Описание: Drawing from the author's fieldwork and his personal experiences in law enforcement, The Militarization of the Police? Ideology Versus Reality employs social science analysis to refute claims that the police in the United States have become militarized. Readers are exposed to research, analysis, and personal narratives that provide insight into the public perception of law enforcement and the behind-the-scenes realities that few experience outside of police work.The book begins by critically examining assertions by Peter Kraska, a professor, and by Radley Balko, a journalist, that the police have become militarized. Later chapters reveal the reality of narcotics raids and the problem with the War on Drugs, examine how the ACLU has criticized SWAT teams in the media, and explore the intertwining of race, poverty, and drugs. Readers gain new perspectives on the riots in Ferguson and in Baltimore through the eyes of law enforcement officials. The book additionally describes real-world examples of the use of excessive force and proposed non-violent alternatives.In employing a social science perspective to the complexities of law enforcement in modern society, The Militarization of the Police? Ideology Versus Reality, is an ideal text for courses in criminal justice, law enforcement, and social science.
