Zusatztext "Eski’s detailed ethnography makes a valuable contribution toour understanding of port security and to the literature on the occupational identity/culture of security workers. The author does a great job of explaining why ports are vital ‘nodes’ in global communications and trade and why criminologists and other students of security ought to pay closer attention to them."Ian Loader, Professor of Criminology, Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford, UK"Yarin Eski provides a much-needed ethnographic look at a little-studied issue in criminology and criminal justice studies. This is an empirically detailed account that is still in touch with theoretical and conceptual concerns in the justice sciences. Eski gives readers a critical take on how port security impacts already marginalized and racially profiled communities. Anyone interested in security, surveillance, law, crime or crime control should take a look at this book."Kevin Walby, Associate Professor and Chancellor’s Research Chair, Department of Criminal Justice, University of Winnipeg, Canada Informationen zum Autor Yarin Eski is a Senior Lecturer in Policing Studies at Liverpool John Moores University!
