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.","brand":"Other Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42974282449151,"sku":"9781635422504","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781635422504_s600x595.jpg?v=1775588632","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781635422504","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
