In this provocative and highly readable collaboration with Tim Harper, former Toronto Star national affairs columnist, Mukherjee reveals how Police Chief Bill Blair changed the channel after the police-killing of Sammy Yatim. He explains how society has given police tacit approval to cull people in mental health crisis and pulls the curtain back on a police culture which avoids accountability, puts officer safety above public safety, colludes on internal investigations and pushes for use of force over empathy and crisis resolution. The book takes the reader inside the G20 debacle; the police push for an ever-growing budget; the battle over carding, which disproportionately targeted blacks; the police treatment of its own members in mental health distress; and the battles with an entrenched union that pushed back on Mukherjee's every move toward reform. In spite of, or as a result of all this, Mukherjee played a leading role in shaping the national conversation about policing, sketching a way forward for a new type of policing that brings law enforcement out of the nineteenth century and into the twenty-first century. There is no shortage of "inside" police books written by former cops. Here is a rare title-not only in Canada but the Western world-written from the community's perspective."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Intro; Acknowledgements; Abbreviations; Introduction; Into the Viper's Nest; Carding the Letter Carrier; The View from the G20 Command Centre; The Boy on the Streetcar; Cull of "the Other"; Stirring the Gravy; New Mayor, New Chief; Union Coup; Welcome to the Security State; The Elaborate Illusion of Police Accountability; What Is the Right Number?; The Way Forward; Endnotes; Index; About the Authors 650 0 $a Police $z Toronto. $z Toronto. 650 0 $a Police brutality $z Toronto. $z Toronto. 650 0 $a Police misconduct $z Toronto. $z Toronto. 650 0 $a Police training $z Toronto. $z Toronto. 651 0 $a Toronto (Ont.) $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Toronto (Ont.) $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Police. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068398 650 7 $a Police brutality. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068571 650 7 $a Police misconduct. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068618 650 7 $a Police training. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068706 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Ontario $z Toronto. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205798 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Harper, Tim, $d 1955- $e author. 776 1 $a Mukherjee, Alok, author. $t Excessive force. $d Madeira Park, British Columbia : Douglas & McIntyre, 2018. $w (CaOONL)20179075020 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013600.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=547E8F04462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
