- Taking Care of Business is a 110,000-word monograph that derives from the author’s comprehensive ethnographic study of police detectives, with a focus on drug law enforcement and proactive investigation. The research involved extensive fieldwork and the collection of a large body of material, which amounted to over 500 hours of observation, 50 interviews and the analysis of a wide range of police documents. The book offers new insights into debates about police culture, the role of the police and organisational reform, as well as the application of regulatory theory and harm reduction principles to drugs policing.
