Focusing on the County Lines drug market in the UK, this book offers an in-depth analysis of police responses in provincial areas. Through ethnographic fieldwork, it immerses readers in police operations, highlighting both innovative and traditional tactics. The author critiques the often superficial nature of policing strategies, arguing they can be more symbolic than effective. However, it also identifies a shift towards a pragmatic approach that incorporates harm reduction principles, making it relevant for criminology scholars, practitioners, and policymakers.
