Drawing upon an intersectional theoretical and mixed-methods approach, the authors look at what it means to defund or abolish the police, as well as the definition of community policing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe death of George Floyd in 2020 resulted in national and international protests during which some members of the public began to demand abolishing or defunding the police, ideas previously put forth in academic arenas. However, these public protests were often presented in rhetorical ways that differed from the academic roots of the ideas. This book takes a deep look into what it means to defund or abolish the police, drawing upon academic origins of the concepts while at the same time examining how the public has used Twitter to define and discuss these ideas. The authors identify frameworks built around the concepts, discuss facts and perspectives that have contributed to these ideas, and explain how quantitative methods can be used to illustrate the most prominent frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book incorporates both quantitative and qualitative means of research in an examination of Twitter and brings clarity to the conversation surrounding the abolish the police, defund the police, and community policing concepts. It is suitable for undergraduate to graduate-level college courses in criminology, sociology, policing, race in America, communication, social media, and research methods. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Media Depictions of Law Enforcement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Abolish the Police on Twitter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Defund the Police on Twitter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Public Discourse and the Nature of Community Policing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Summary and Conclusions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018846929239,"sku":"9781032117805","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/framing-the-police-on-twitter-9781032117805","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
