Police and Policing

Police and Policing is an important topic area within the study of crime and deviance, one in which sociologists look at the police as agents of social control, theorise about their role in society from conflict and consensus perspectives, and consider the nature of police discretion and its impact on both crime and the measuring of crime through police statistics.
