Description
While considerable attention has been given to encounters between black citizens and police in urban communities, there have been limited analyses of such encounters in suburban settings. Race, Place, and Suburban Policing tells the full story of social injustice, racialized policing, nationally profiled shootings, and the ambiguousness of black life in a suburban context. Through compelling interviews, participant observation, and field notes from a marginalized black enclave located in a predominately white suburb, Andrea S. Boyles examines a fraught police-citizen interface, where blacks are segregated and yet forced to negotiate overlapping spaces with their more affluent white counterparts.

Reviews
"It is not serendipity that an academic engages a topic that suddenly enters the national conversation; rather, it is a reflection of Dr. Boyles' attentiveness as a scholar and an author that she chose to write about one of the key civil rights issue of the twenty-first century, just as it was boiling under the national surface."-- "City & Society"
"Sounding the call for more research into suburbs is Andrea Boyles's very timely Race, Place, and Suburban Policing."-- "Sociological Forum"
"Boyles brings two fresh perspectives to the table of policing literature. First, her focus is on suburbia rather than the more traditional policing milieu of cities. Second, she expands the conversation from the police to the body politic as a whole. This latter novelty is arguably the most important addition Boyles makes to the policing literature."-- "Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books"
"Boyles presents a unique and innovative understanding of the relationship between race, place, and policing."-- "Journal of Qualitative Criminal Justice & Criminology" (11/1/2016 12:00:00 AM)
"Rarely do we scrutinize the persistent inequalities between white and black America at the root of these social problems. It is in this context that Andrea Boyles' book Race, Place, and Suburban Policing is so timely... informative."-- "Contemporary Sociology"
