Abstract

In The Policing Machine, Tony Cheng scrutinises the NYPD’s Neighborhood Policing model, revealing how police use public input as a tool to maintain control and legitimacy. Based on in-depth ethnographic research in two Brooklyn precincts, Cheng’s incisive study shows how such programmes reinforce existing power structures and impede meaningful police reform, writes Pascual Cortés. The Policing Machine: Enforcement, Endorsements, and the Illusion of Public Input. Tony Cheng. The University of Chicago Press. 2024.
