“Sun and Wu’s book presents some guidelines for academic researchers to investigate immigrants’ perceptions of the police. This book can also be useful to those who teach undergraduate or graduate policing classes where the instructor wants to discuss various challenges of the American police and critical thinking about the police-community relations in multicultural society.” (Jaeyong Choi, Journal of Criminal Justice Education, Vol. 30 (4), 2019)“Sun (Univ. of Delaware) and Wu (Wayne State) focus on Latino, Chinese, and Arab immigrants’ perceptions of police in the US and the various factors that shape their views. They provide a summary of research available on the topic and report on their own scholarly work. … Given the rise of xenophobia in the US and increased use of local police to enforce immigration laws, this is a timely book. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.” (M. Escobar, Choice, Vol. 56 (03), 2018)
