About this book

"In Policing Contingencies, Peter K. Manning draws on decades of ethnographic research to investigate how law enforcement works on the ground and in the symbolic realm, and why most efforts to reform the way police work have failed so far." "Written with precision and judiciously argued, Policing Contingencies will be of value to scholars of sociology, criminology, information technology, and cultural theory."--BOOK JACKET.
