Exploring half a century of evolving police procedures, the analysis examines the shifting role of spectators in police-citizen interactions. It delves into tensions between frustrated citizens and unsettled officers, citing landmark riots and high-profile brutality cases to reveal the complex interplay between society and law enforcement.
In Cop Watch, renowned social psychologist Hans Toch takes stock of the vast changes in police procedures that have occurred over the last half-century by examining the evolving role of spectators to police-citizen interactions.
This sympathetic and informed analysis details the concerns of both disgruntled citizens and unsettled police. Their interactions are played out on a broad stage, from 9 s riots and Kerner Commission findings, to 2 accusations of police brutality in Seattle. In this unflinching examination of the power of the crowd and society to shape police practice, Toch provides a uniquely compelling look at the struggles and complexities of policing in a volatile world.
