Policing The Progressive City
$24.00
The dangers of “progressive policing” as told through a study of Portland, Oregon.
Description
An expert chronicler of police abuse of power, in Policing the Progressive City Kristian Williams now turns his focus to law enforcement in his own backyard. It is the city’s progressive veneer, this book argues, that allows the repressive core of its policing machinery to function so effectively, weathering scandals, co-opting critics, and periodically renewing police legitimacy with well-timed and carefully limited reforms.
