These gripping accounts obscure two crucial aspects of police work: the tedium of everyday patrols under constant pressure to meet quotas, and the banality of racial discrimination and ordinary violence.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Around the time of the 2005 French riots, anthropologist and sociologist Didier Fassin spent fifteen months observing up close the daily life of an anticrime squad in one of the largest precincts in the Paris region. His unprecedented study, which sparked intense discussion about policing in the largely working-class, immigrant suburbs, remains acutely relevant in light of all-too-common incidents of police brutality against minorities.\u003cbr\u003e This new, powerfully illustrated adaptation clearly presents the insights of Fassin's investigation, and draws connections to the challenges we face today in the United States as in France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Didier Fassin, Fr馘駻ic Debomy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1635422507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635422504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Other Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.08h x 7.95w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/17\/2021 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2022 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/14\/2022","brand":"Didier Fassin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051654770943,"sku":"9781635422504","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a9ed206-234b-4006-8241-88dc18b4d120.jpg?v=1685014379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/policing-the-city-didier-fassin-9781635422504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
