The Policing Machine
A revelatory look at how the NYPD has resisted change through strategic and selective community engagement.

Despite calls for increased accountability, police departments have successfully stonewalled change.

Ethnographies on criminal justice institutions have also flourished, with studies on police, courts, and prisons providing deep insights into how these organizations operate and shape the lives of people who encounter them. The Oxford Handbook of Ethnographies of Crime and Criminal Justice provides critical and current reviews of key research topics, i...
