"In this pioneering book, Emma K Russell offers a seeping yet nuanced history of the relationship between police and LGBT communities. Merging rich archival and interview research with sophisticated theoretical material, the book breathes fresh life into debates about the tensions between sexual citizenship, criminality, identity, and state authority. It is essential reading for scholars and students in criminology, queer studies, policing, and history."

Gail Mason, Professor of Criminology, University of Sydney, Australia

"Through a detailed analysis of historic queer moments, Queer Histories and the Politics of Policing maps the carceral investments that shape "good queer citizenship". The book is fluid, compelling, and accessible."

Erica R Meiners, Bernard J. Brommel Distinguished Research Professor, Northeastern Illinois University, USA

"A must read-not only for those who are interested in the shifting terrain of sexual politics and policing in Australia, but also for those who want to understand what is at stake in broader trends in "diversity" policing. A richly textured and politically incisive account. Critical queer interdisciplinary scholarship at its best."

Sarah Lamble, Reader in Criminology & Queer Theory, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
