- The book offers an innovative approach to understanding race and policing, grounded in a Critical Race Theory framework. Through interview participants accounts of contemporary experiences of policing, in the post-Macpherson context, it presents a ‘counter-story’ to the dominant state/police narrative. The emergent counter-story facilitates an understanding of the operation of race and processes of racialization in police/citizen contact. It examines both police initiated and citizen initiated contact and examines the racialised construction of both the suspect and the victim.
