Overview
This field guide arms activistsāand indeed anyone concerned about police abuseāwith critical insights that ultimately redefine the very idea of policing. When we talk about police and police reform, we speak the language of police legitimation through euphemism. So state sexual assault becomes ābody-cavity search,ā and ruthless beatings ānon-compliance deterrence.ā
In entries such as āpolice dog,ā āstop and frisk,ā and ārough ride,ā the authors expose the way ācopspeakā suppresses the true meaning and history of law enforcement. In field guide fashion, they reveal a world hidden in plain view. The book argues that a redefined language of policing might help us chart a future thatās free.
Including explanations of newsmaking terms such as ādeadname,ā ākettling,ā and āqualified immunity,ā and a foreword by leading justice advocate Craig Gilmore.
