In a critical discussion of contemporary and emerging modes of mediatized police work, Lee and McGovern demonstrate how the police engage with the public through a fluid and quickly expanding assemblage of communications and information technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePolicing and Media\u003c\/i\u003e explores the rationalities that are driving police\/media relations and asks; how these relationships differ (or not) from the ways they have operated historically; what new technologies are influencing and being deployed by policing organizations and police public relations professionals and why; how operational policing is shaping and being shaped by new technologies of communication; and what forms of resistance are evident to the manufacture of preferred images of police. The authors suggest that new forms of simulated and hyper real policing using platforms such as social media and reality television are increasingly positioning police organisations as media organisations, and in some cases enabling police to bypass the traditional media altogether. The book is informed by empirical research spanning ten years in this field and includes chapters on journalism and police, policing and social media, policing and reality television, and policing resistances. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt will be of interest to those researching and teaching in the fields of Criminology, Policing and Media, as well as police and media professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Murray Lee,Alyce McGovern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415632129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415632126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Murray Lee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112896606463,"sku":"9780415632126","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b91c6671-cb26-4459-a352-6d19d65d5fd5.jpg?v=1769611673","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/policing-and-media-murray-lee-9780415632126","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
