Jonathan Rubinstein spent over a year with the Philadelphia police force, riding second man in patrol cars on all shifts, and from this experience he describes every aspects of a policeman's working life: his conception of the place he polices; his sense of territory; the extent of his knowledge of the people he polices; his technique for surveillance of his area; his use of the tools of the trade to control people; his complicated relationships with his coworkers and his sergeant, who dominates his working life. And, of course, he deals extensively with the eternal problems of corruption and brutality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with great insight and without pro- or anti-police bias, \u003ci\u003eCity Police\u003c\/i\u003e is rich in illustrative incidents and serves as an excellent model for future studies of police work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780374515553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Hill and Wang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40593133568206,"sku":"9780374515553","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_2a375c56-7ed7-41e2-8338-30658f308340.jpg?v=1637782369","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780374515553","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
