Zusatztext "Peter K. Manning has been a key contributor to the sociology of policing field for over three decades. In this volume he further formulates the dramaturgical perspective and ethnographic work on policing to produce vivid insights into the police organization which! all too often! is depicted as a highly organized! well-administered and cleverly led social institution subject only to the occasional scandal or mishap. Manning produces a subtle account of policing which shows why it is so regularly mis-represented in media accounts and why management texts that focus on police administrative models are so often inconsistent with the facts."James Sheptycki!
