Danger in Police Culture: Perspectives from South Africa delves into a novel exploration of how police officers perceive, interpret, and construct danger. By gaining unique insights from working closely with uniformed and detective police, the author pioneers groundbreaking research as the first scholar to collaborate with a Tactical Response Team in South Africa. Through ethnographic research in the country, Perkins delves into the lived experiences of police officers navigating perilous situations and confronting death. By reframing the question of what makes policing inherently dangerous, the author employs a theoretical framework as a prism, shedding light on the ambiguous ideas that shape perceptions of danger within police culture. A vivid portrayal of how danger manifests through risk reduction strategies and artifacts, brought to life through memorialization and normalized in daily police practices, culminates in Perkins' reflection on policy developments aimed at addressing the understanding and influence of danger in contemporary policing.
This critical assessment is of utmost importance in reassessing the concept of danger in policing and its profound impact on modern police work. In support of the Perkins Síochána Scholarship, the proceeds from the sale of this book will be dedicated to funding the ongoing development of South African graduate students pursuing studies in Criminal Justice and Criminology within the Global South.
