With a focus on Western jurisdictions and by examining a range of documentary, media and data sources, this book provides an evidence-based examination of the question: Do police really need guns? This book first provides detailed insight into the armed policing tradition and perceptions/expectations with respect to police and firearms. A range of theoretical concepts regarding policing, state power and the use of force is applied to an examination of what makes the police powerful. This is set against the minimum force tradition, which is typified by policing in England and Wales. Consideration is also given to the role played by key tropes and constructs of popular culture. Drawing on Surette's model of symbolic reality, the book considers contrasting media traditions and the positioning of firearms within narrative arcs, especially the role of heroes. The book concludes by drawing together the key themes and findings, and considering the viability of retaining and/or moving towards non-routinely armed police. 001432624 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from digital title page (viewed on January 28, 2021). 001432624 650_0 $$aPolice. 001432624 650_0 $$aPolice$$xEquipment and supplies. 001432624 650_0 $$aFirearms$$xUse in crime prevention. 001432624 650_6 $$aPolice$$xAppareils et matériel. 001432624 650_6 $$aArmes à feu$$xUtilisation dans la prévention de la criminalité. 001432624 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001432624 7001_ $$aFarmer, Clare,$$eauthor. 001432624 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9811595259$$z9789811595257$$w(OCoLC)1195448426 001432624 852__ $$bebk 001432624 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-15-9526-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001432624 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1432624$$pGLOBAL_SET 001432624 980__ $$aBIB 001432624 980__ $$aEBOOK 001432624 982__ $$aEbook 001432624 983__ $$aOnline 001432624 994__ $$a92$$bISE
