The book was a prescient, extraordinary piece of critical scholarship. Over three decades on, its analytical clarity, and what it tells us about the exercise of power in an increasingly brutal, social environment, remains undiminished. The second edition, with additional material, is as relevant as its predecessor, a compelling read not only for students and academics, but also for anyone interested in the history of the UK since 1945.\" - Joe Sim, Professor of Criminology, Liverpool John Moores University, UK Praise for the first edition: \"... a remarkable tour de force which will provide an invaluable framework for any future work on crime, law and the state... It is a major achievement both in terms of its contribution to social theory and political debate\" - British Journal of Sociology \"... probably one of the most important books to be written on race relations in Britain\" - Race and Class \"... a penetrating study of post-war British society which not only has depth but is powerfully written... Policing the Crisis is an impressive combination of sophisticated theory and thorough concrete analysis\" - Tribune\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the Second Edition  Introduction to the First Edition  PART I  The Social History of a Moral Panic  The Origins of Social Control  The Social Production of News  PART II  Balancing Accounts: Cashing in on Handsworth  Orchestrating Public Opinion  Explanations and Ideologies of crime  PART III  Crime, Law and the State  The Law-and-Order Society: the Exhaustion of 'Consent'  The Law-and-Order Society: Towards the 'Exceptional State'  PART IV  The Politics of 'Mugging'  Conclusion to the Second Edition: Reflections and new considerations.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA 3pl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019438621015,"sku":"9781137007186","price":41.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781137007186.jpg?v=1750780272","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/policing-the-crisis-9781137007186","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
