Description

Hardcover: 188 pages (2012 edition) This book examines the history of police reform over the past 50 years, focusing on the role of citizen "spectators" in shaping police practice and policy. Toch draws on his own research in crowd behavior and interviews with real police officers to shed light on key events, including the resistance of rank-and-file officers to reforms. The book explores two significant cases: a West Coast city's experience with citizen concerns about police brutality from 1967 to 1971, and accusations of police brutality in Seattle in 2010-2011. An extensive list of references accompanies the Seattle section, providing online documentation for this part of the book. With its unique blend of historical analysis and original research, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between citizens, police, and social media.
