Note publique d'information : "This field guide arms activist--and indeed anyone concerned about police abuse--with
critical insights that ultimately redefine the very idea of policing. When we talk
about police and police reform, we speak the language of police legitimation through
euphemism. So state sexual assault becomes 'body-cavity search, ' and ruthless beatings
'non-compliance deterrence.' In entries such as 'police dog, ' 'stop and frisk, '
and 'rough ride, ' the authors expose the way 'copspeak' suppresses the true meaning
and history of law enforcement. In field guide fashion, they reveal a world hidden
in plain view. The book argues that a redefined language of policing might help us
chart a future that's free. Including explanations of newsmaking terms such as 'deadname,
' 'kettling, ' and 'qualified immunity, ' and a foreword by leading justice advocate
Craig Gilmore."
