In Policing Contingencies, Peter K. Manning draws on decades of fieldwork to investigate how law enforcement works on the ground and in the symbolic realm, and why most efforts to reform the way police work have failed so far. Manning begins by developing a model of policing as drama-a way of communicating various messages to the public in an effort to enforce moral boundaries. Unexpected outcomes, or contingencies, continually rewrite the plot of this drama, requiring officers to adjust accordingly. New information technologies, media scrutiny and representations, and community policing also play important roles, and Manning studies these influences in detail. He concludes that their impacts have been quite limited, because the basic structure of policing-officer assessments based on encounters during routine patrols-has remained unchanged. For policing to really change, Manning argues, its focus will need to shift to prevention. Written with precision and judiciously argued, Policing Contingencies will be of value to scholars of sociology, criminology, information technology, and cultural theory. 606 $aCommunication in police administration$zGreat Britain 606 $aCommunication in police administration$zUnited States 606 $aPolice administration$zGreat Britain$xCitizen participation 606 $aPolice administration$zUnited States$xCitizen participation 606 $aPolice and mass media$zGreat Britain 606 $aPolice and mass media$zUnited States 606 $aPolice$zGreat Britain 606 $aPolice$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommunication in police administration 615 0$aCommunication in police administration 615 0$aPolice administration$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aPolice administration$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aPolice and mass media 615 0$aPolice and mass media 615 0$aPolice 615 0$aPolice 676 $a363.2 700 $aManning$b Peter K$027643 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455585903321 996 $aPolicing contingencies$91983104 997 $aUNINA
