Ronald Weitzer is Associate Professor of Sociology at George Washington University.
"The author is working in an important area: the relationships among politics, the state, and policing, especially when explicit state interests and politics are involved. He comments very accurately on the shabby and ill-conceived ideology of community policing, and he brings data to bear in an illuminating fashion on the meaning of 'community' and the practices of 'community policing.'" - Peter K. Manning, Michigan State University
