selected bibliographyI HAVE TRIED TO THOROUGHLY DOCUMENT MY SOURCES IN THE ENDNOTES,and I see no need to reproduce those efforts in this bibliography. Instead, Ilist the works I found most useful in my research, and briefly comment onthem where necessary.I begin with sources on general topics, then list those remaining, roughlyfollowing the structure of the text. There is a certain amount of unavoidableoverlap between categories, but in the interest of space I have kept repetitionto a minimum. The principle of organization is this: a source is assignedto the chapter for which it has the greatest significance, and then placed inthe narrowest applicable topic section. For example, though I quoted fromit throughout the text, Rodney Stark's book Police Riots is listed only once,under the heading for chapter 8 ("Riot Police or Police Riots?") in the subsectiontitled "Crowd Control Models." By this reasoning, it follows that a readerlooking for information on the Haymarket Affair should start by looking inthe "Haymarket" section among the sources for chapter 7, but she would alsodo well to consider the sources listed under "Red Squads" (also in chapter 7)and "Labor History" (from chapter 5) .I have focused here on print sources, rather than trust internet material toremain stable from one day to the next. Moreover, I have given special priorityto books, as these tend to be of more general use than the numerous magazine,newspaper, and journal articles appearing in the notes. The best articles areusually anthologized anyway; where practical, I have grouped short workstogether under the entries for the relevant anthologies. Unfortunately, I mustwarn you that many of the best books are out of print and hard to come by.(That said, I managed to lay my hands on all the material l cite, so it is possible.My advice is that you ask a public librarian about inter-library loan; our publicinstitutions are sometimes much better than we realize.)It will be observed that the majority of authors I cite are men, usually academicsor police administrators. This is emphatically not the result of intentionalselection on my part, but reflects the overall composition of the field. It is oftenuseful to see what insiders have to say, especially about such an insular and,at times, secretive institution as the police-however, I have tried in the text303
