Through a comparative analysis of policing in skid row districts in three cities – Edinburgh, San Francisco, and Vancouver – \u003ci\u003eNegotiating Demands\u003c\/i\u003e offers an inside look at the influence of local political, moral, and economic issues on police practices within marginalized communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough an analysis of various theoretical approaches and ethnographic field data, Laura Huey unveils a portrait of skid row policing as a political process. Police are regularly called upon to negotiate often-conflicting sets of demands, especially within the context of disadvantaged or troubled neighbourhoods. Examining a broad spectrum of police procedures and community responses, Huey offers a reconceptualization of the police as political actors who 'negotiate demands' of different constituencies. How the police meet these demands – through incident- and context-specific uses of law enforcement, peacekeeping, social work, and knowledge work – are shown to be a product of the civic environment in which they operate and of the 'moral-economic' forces that shape public discourse. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNegotiating Demands\u003c\/i\u003e is an original and thought-provoking study that not only advances our knowledge of police organization and decision-making strategies but also refines our understanding of how processes of social inclusion and exclusion occur in different liberal regimes and how they can be addressed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"By Laura Huey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56219028947324,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781442627697.jpg?v=1768195571","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/negotiating-demands-2","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
