Policing agencies in Canada continue to face criticism over their outsized use of violence in response to encampments of unhoused people, protests against police brutality, and sites of environmental activism and Indigenous land defence. Feeling victimized and misunderstood, police officers increasingly sport harmful "thin blue line" symbology depicting their role as guardians of civilization against disorder -- with poor, racialized, and progressive people squarely on the wrong side.
With meticulous historical, theoretical, and empirical detail, this deeply researched text recasts police as a social movement-in-power rather than a neutral public institution. It explores key debates in policing literature alongside contemporary examples of policing's ideological dimensions, including communications practices, membership structures, and political campaigning. Linking police identity with far-right perceptions of victimhood and alienation, Thin Blue Rage analyzes police's defensive anger towards a public they see as not understanding or supporting how they function.外文書商品之書封，為出版社提供之樣本。實際出貨商品，以出版社所提供之現有版本為主。部份書籍，因出版社供應狀況特殊，匯率將依實際狀況做調整。
