Peter K Manning has been a key figure in scholarship on police organization for the past three decades. His work has been widely celebrated for its contribution to key debates on democratic policing, crime analysis and technology.

Building on a wealth of original ethnographic research, in this book Manning develops his dramaturgical framework to formulate a theory of police organization. The Police Mandate will be essential reading for all policing scholars, as well as sociologists and criminologists alike.
