Book Title: Forces of Order: Policing Modern Japan
Author: David Bayley
Selection Statement:
Dr. Bayley was one of the most influential criminologists in my graduate career at University at Albany. He was inspiring and often encouraged me in my research. His book, Forces of Order, was one of my favorite ethnographies on policing. It opened my eyes about the role of police in Japan and how culture and perspectives of human fallibility influence our views toward law and order. I visited him in his hometown Granville, Ohio in 2017, and he passed away in 2020. He is terribly missed.
