Policing Citizens: Police, Power and the State - Law Enforcement Books on Government Authority & Civil Rights - Perfect for Criminal Justice Studies & Political Science Research

This book is worthless!! The author treats his readers with contempt,by simply providing us with an justification - and ultimately a raisond'etre - for the police 'force'. It appears to me that this is more apersonal book than an academic one. ...In short, he is engaging instandard techniques of neutralization. The book in itself offers thinrationales for the 21st century 'need' of the police force, and iseffectively a chance for Mr Waddington to catch up with some oldfriends. Social science can be a fantastic subject, but not when itsabused like this. Anyone who buys this book should ask for their moneyback! END
