Focusing on the County Lines drug market in the UK, this book offers a deep dive into police responses through ethnographic fieldwork. It transports readers into the realities of policing, examining both innovative tactics and traditional methods used by officers. The analysis reveals that policing strategies often serve symbolic purposes, emphasizing public messaging over substantive impact. However, it also highlights a shift towards harm reduction principles in drug policing. This research is essential for academics, practitioners, and policymakers in Criminology and Policing.
