Police: A Field Guide Revised Edition - David Correia

Descriere Police: A Field Guide Revised Edition - David Correia

\nA radical guide to the language of policing \nThis field guide arms activists--and indeed anyone concerned about police abuse--with critical insights that ultimately redefine the very idea of policing. When we talk about police and police reform, we speak the language of police legitimation through euphemism. So state sexual assault becomes body-cavity search, and ruthless beatings non-compliance deterrence. \n \n In entries such as police dog, stop and frisk, and rough ride, the authors expose the way copspeak suppresses the true meaning and history of law enforcement. In field guide fashion, they reveal a world hidden in plain view. The book argues that a redefined language of policing might help us chart a future that's free. \n \n Including explanations of newsmaking terms such as deadname, kettling, and qualified immunity, and a foreword by leading justice advocate Craig Gilmore.\n
