Originally published in 1993, this groundbreaking work marked the first systematic attempt to understand the criminalization of Black people without resorting to crude state conspiracy theories or pathological portrayals of Black communities. Instead, the author contextualizes police/Black conflict within a geographical and historical framework. Through a rigorous analysis of recent riots in London, informed by theoretical debates of the time, Keith successfully demonstrates that both the riots and subsequent popular and official analysis had shaped policies that heightened the criminalization of the Black community.
The ethnographic study of police/Black antagonism in three key areas of London sheds light on a police force grappling with a historical legacy that extends beyond the actions of individual officers. This book underscores the importance of situating ethnographic accounts within the social and political context in which the police operate to gain a comprehensive understanding of contemporary policing. It will be of immense value to students of sociology, race relations, social geography, criminology, and politics, as well as to professionals in the race relations field and the police service.
This book is a re-issue of the original publication from 1993. Please note that the language used reflects the time period and era in which it was written, and no offense is intended by the Publishers to any reader through this re-publication.
