Policing by the Public

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1988, this title opened up an entirely new field within criminology and the sociology of deviance. The authors focus on the nature of informal social control in both villages and urban centres to show the kinds of policing people do for themselves, within their communities, in an endeavour to curb crime and deviance.
