- This book is the product of a six-year research project, and involved a sustained research effort to collect and analyse data resulting in a complex piece of work. It engages with scholarly debates in several fields, including political science, anthropology, criminology, and urban studies. The book’s contribution is founded on an extended period of ethnographic research that Denyer Willis conducted in Brazil between 2009 and 2012. Much of this time was spent embedded in the homicide division of a local precinct in São Paulo. Fieldwork enabled him to develop novel arguments about the relationship between the state and organised crime.
