Policing the Crisis: A Sociopolitical Exploration
This chapter examines the critical themes in the book 'Policing the Crisis,' addressing the moral panic over mugging in late capitalist Britain and its racialized implications. Through a collaborative lens, the speakers discuss the socio-economic factors at play during the 1970s, connecting historical and contemporary racial politics in both the UK and the US. They reflect on the transformative role of collective intellectual efforts and the evolving perceptions of crime and consent within the context of British society.
