  This book contrasts common explanations of police/black conflict with the local experience of communities involved in inner city uprisings in the 1980s. Keith convincingly argues that the misrepresentation of conflict has contributed to institutionalized racism. This book is intended for academics, postgraduates and advanced undergraduates in race and ethnic relations, criminology, urban sociology and urban politics, social policy. Will also appeal to students on more general courses in sociology, politics and geography.
