Abstract
Review of 'The danger imperative: violence, death, and the soul of policing', M. Sierra-Arévalo (2024). New York: Columbia University Press.
Sierra-Arévalo's 'The Danger Imperative: Violence, Death, and the Soul of Policing' resonated with me on two distinct levels. As someone who teaches police studies from a criminological perspective and who spent nearly 30 years as a street police officer before transitioning into academia, I approached this text with both scholarly curiosity and the visceral recognition that comes from lived experience.
