Product Information
Policing is violent. And its violence is not distributed equally: stark racial disparities persist despite decades of efforts to address them. Amid public outcry and an ongoing crisis of police legitimacy, there is pressing need to understand not only how police perceive and use violence but also why. With unprecedented access to three police departments and drawing on more than 100 interviews and 1,000 hours on patrol, The Danger Imperative provides vital insight into how police culture shapes officers' perception and practice of violence. From the front seat of a patrol car, it shows how the institution of policing reinforces a cultural preoccupation with violence through academy training, departmental routines, powerful symbols, and officers' street-level behavior. This violence-centric culture makes no explicit mention of race, relying on the colorblind language of "threat" and "officer safety." Nonetheless, existing patterns of systemic disadvantage funnel police hyperfocused on survival into poor minority neighborhoods. Without requiring individual bigotry, this combination of social structure, culture, and behavior perpetuates enduring inequalities in police violence. A trailblazing, on-the-ground account of modern policing, this book shows that violence is the logical consequence of an institutional culture that privileges officer survival over public safety.

Reviews
Michael Sierra-Arévalo has written an important book that helps us understand why policing in America can be so violent. From academy training to the roll call of the morning shift to the remembrance of fallen officers, police are taught to live in a world filled with mortal danger, even at times when no danger exists. By looking closely at the working lives of patrol officers and rejecting simple tropes of heroes or villains, The Danger Imperative explains why the institution that is charged with keeping us safe can also cause so much harm., Through deep immersion in the worlds of police, Sierra-Arévalo shows how policing continually re-creates a worldview of acute danger in every civilian encounter. From this sense of constant threat comes a justifying ideology that privileges the possibility of violence toward the policed--sometimes preemptive and often racialized--to ensure officer survival. The Danger Imperative skillfully locates officers and the public within the institutional and social worlds of policing and reveals the situated exchanges that sustain officers' fear and justify their practices. This remarkable book should be read and taught in criminology and sociology and, importantly, throughout the police profession., The Danger Imperative showcases how danger becomes routinized as an organizing principle of policing through day-to-day practices, training, and the personal lifestyles of officers. Sierra-Arévalo convincingly captures the heart of policing as an institution, and we are left with an understanding of why current proposals for reforming the police often overlook the heart of the problem. The significance of this contribution cannot be overstated., Based on rigorous observation and insightful analysis across three police departments, The Danger Imperative is a sobering journey into the 'soul' of US public law enforcement--one that reveals police violence not as an aberration due to 'bad apples' but as an expected outcome born out of an organizational fixation on death and danger. Rigorously attending to police culture on its own terms without losing sight of the broader inequalities that policing reflects and reproduces, Sierra-Arévalo makes visible the largely obscured and unappreciated stamp of the 'danger imperative' in the everyday rituals of police work as it amplifies officers' fears of vulnerability, exacerbates the likelihood of violence, and crowds out other orientations toward policing. Necessary and troubling, The Danger Imperative shifts the conversation from how police make violence to how violence makes police--and in doing so, invites us to reimagine the relationship between officer safety and public safety in ways that move beyond superficial reforms and encourage us to rethink our own investment in the danger imperative., Michael Sierra-Arévalo has brought a new level of scientific rigor to the study of policing. His research documents how a relentless focus on danger is reinforced through training, channels of information sharing, and institutional practices that provide a constant reminder of the threat posed by every person with whom an officer interacts. The danger imperative dominates policing and helps explain why the institution is so resistant to meaningful reforms., Sierra-Arévalo compellingly narrates and deconstructs one of the most powerful public beliefs about policing in America today: that it is uniquely dangerous and should thus be inoculated from criticism and real change. Beautifully written and rigorously researched, The Danger Imperative should transform how we understand policing at its core., The Danger Imperative showcases how danger becomes routinized as an organizing principle of policing through training and the day-to-day practices of officers.

The danger imperative dominates policing and helps explain why the institution is so resistant to meaningful reforms., Michael Sierra-Arévalo compellingly narrates and deconstructs one of the most powerful public beliefs about American policing today: that it is uniquely dangerous and should thus be inoculated from criticism and real change. Beautifully written and rigorously researched, The Danger Imperative should transform how we understand policing at its core., From the first day at the academy to the last call at the retirement banquet, a preoccupation with violence and survival runs like a blue thread through American policing. With painstaking research and firsthand observation, Sierra-Arévalo brilliantly traces this "danger imperative" in police training, operations, and seldom seen rituals. A masterful contribution, from its harrowing opening pages to its clear-eyed conclusion., Based on rigorous observation and insightful analysis across three police departments, The Danger Imperative is a sobering journey into the "soul" of U.S. public law enforcement--one that reveals police violence not as the product of "bad apples" but as an expected outcome born out of an organizational fixation on death and danger.

With painstaking research and firsthand observation, Michael Sierra-Arévalo brilliantly traces this Danger Imperative in police training, operations, and rituals. A masterful contribution, from its harrowing opening pages to its clear-eyed conclusion., Through deep immersion into the worlds of police and communities, Sierra-Arévalo shows how the everyday grind of disputes, disorder, and bureaucracy order their work, while a steady drumbeat of angry protests against them have led to their worldview of acute danger in every civilian encounter. From this sense of constant threat comes a justifying ideology that demands violence toward the policed, sometimes preemptive, and often racialized, to ensure their survival. The Danger Imperative skillfully advances the work of the ethnographer to place the officers and civilians in the institutional worlds of policing, and in turn revealing their situated exchanges that sustain their fears and sanction their practices. This remarkable book should be read and taught in criminology, sociology, and importantly, throughout the police profession., This clear-eyed analysis lays bare the soul of twenty-first century policing. The Danger Imperative , or as Sierra-Arevalo argues, the preoccupation with violence, death and the presumption of threat, the concern for the places from which threat emanates, and the fear that police safety might be compromised, operates across registers, guiding everyday interactions between police and everyone else, while shaping police culture and providing a symbology and framework for police and their allies to interpret events. The Danger Imperative is not some inflexible theory of police behavior that presumes the larger culture of policing overdetermines police outcomes. Rather, it offers a sophisticated understanding of police officer decision making in situ and the ways that institutional forms promote certain kinds of behavior. This important and timely book should be on the shelves of anyone interested in understanding policing in this country., Violence against the police is at an historic low, and it is hard to find evidence of a war on cops. Indeed, police work is usually routine and uneventful. But, in this powerful ethnography, Michael Sierra-Arévalo shows us how police departments create a culture where 'officer safety' is the organizing principle or the 'soul' of police work. Clearly written and nuanced, The Danger Imperative should be read by anyone concerned with policing today., Michael Sierra-Arévalo has written an important book that helps us understand why policing in America can be so violent.
