Didier Fassin.
- xxiii, 287 pages ; 24 cm
Translated from the French.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Richly documented and compellingly told, this unique account of contemporary urban policing shows that, instead of enforcing the law, the police are engaged in the task of enforcing an unequal social order in the name of public security.
