Description
"The ghetto, the block, neighborhood, community, and hot spot are all terms that capture a particular space or a familiar location for citizens and law enforcement officers. These spaces may appear welcoming to some or send waves of fear into others that have to enter. What makes an area of the city a hot spot for crime at night? Why do the police act, speak, and patrol so differently across segments of the city? At their core, all these questions show an awareness of the power of space. Spatial Policing is a fascinating look at how the contexts of space, location, and time influence law enforcement, which can result in differential treatment and controversial patrol practices. Each chapter in Spatial Policing, written by leading experts in law enforcement, spatial, and cultural issues in criminal justice, provides a highly readable text and offers an in-depth discussion of theory, and research findings, as well as real world examples of the most important spatial contexts for police actions."--Jacket.
