Table of ContentsReviewsRegina Lawrence's model of the constraints on use of deadly police force has enduring explanatory power. With clarity and economy of expression, Lawrence applies the model in the new hybrid information environment and finds progress as well as potential setbacks. An essential book for students of the interaction of politics, communication, and public policy on racial justice. * Andrew Rojecki, Professor of Communication and Political Science, University of Illinois at Chicago * When The Politics of Force first came out two decades ago, it made a significant theoretical and empirical mark on a topic that had long been neglected in the political communication literature. Lawrence's updated edition of this landmark publication is even more relevant today than the original was then. This book deserves the full attention of anyone who wants to understand how and why news media so often cover controversies involving police uses of force in ways that avoid shining needed light on systems that are badly in need of reform. * Scott Althaus, Merriam Professor of Political Science and Professor of Communication, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign * The problem of police violence has never before received as much media coverage as it did in 2020. Lawrence's analysis helps answer why. Why, of the countless number of people who have been injured, harmed, and killed by police, did George Floyd's murder grasp the world's attention? Her book meticulously describes the process of select news events becoming 'iconic moments,' and provides a convincing framework for understanding how the past can help frame the present. * Danielle K. Brown, Cowles Professor of Journalism, Diversity and Equality, University of Minnesota * The Politics of Force grapples with fundamental problems around the construction of the public agenda that have only become more urgent over time. * Benjamin Toff, Assistant Professor, Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Minnesota, and Senior Research Fellow, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, University of Oxford * Regina Lawrence's model of the constraints on use of deadly police force has enduring explanatory power.
