Description
Explore the critical book 'Racialized Policing' that delves into the contentious issue of policing practices, racial profiling, and systemic racism. Authored by Elizabeth Comack, this profound work challenges the narrow focus of current debates surrounding the relationships between law enforcement and communities of color, particularly highlighting the often-overlooked experiences of Aboriginal peoples. This book argues that racial profiling is not merely an individual problem, but a systemic issue deeply ingrained in institutional processes and practices. Through compelling case studies, including the tragic encounters of J.J. Harper and Matthew Dumas, Comack sheds light on how race shapes police interactions and the cultural frames that influence officers' behavior. With a comprehensive analysis of historical and contemporary policing incidents, 'Racialized Policing' calls for a necessary transformation in law enforcement strategies to mitigate the ongoing impact of racism and reshape the very nature of police work. Ideal for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the critical issues surrounding race in law enforcement, this book is a must-read. Discover how systemic changes in policing can lead to more just practices and improved community relations, fostering a deeper understanding of the role of race in societal order.
