Policing County Lines: Conclusion [This final chapter draws the book to a conclusion by pulling together its key empirical findings and main theoretical arguments. Although not the primary purpose of the book, in this conclusion it is worth reflecting briefly on some of the insights it has provided regarding the evolution of local heroin and crack markets. Throughout many of the chapters, the central importance of the meanings and understandings of this phenomenon by police officers has been stressed both implicitly and explicitly. Theoretically unpicking the fear generated by these ‘import’ markets and the threat posed by the burgeoning presence of ‘impure’ outsiders, alongside the genuine evolutions in local supply the practice represents, is vital for greater understanding on the subject. More fundamentally, at this stage, it is perhaps worth taking stock and thinking critically about what this thing called County Lines actually is. Some tentative conclusions regarding this will be made in the first section of this chapter.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This final chapter draws the book to a conclusion by pulling together its key empirical findings and main theoretical arguments. Although not the primary purpose of the book, in this conclusion it is worth reflecting briefly on some of the insights it has provided regarding the evolution of local heroin and crack markets. Throughout many of the chapters, the central importance of the meanings and understandings of this phenomenon by police officers has been stressed both implicitly and explicitly. Theoretically unpicking the fear generated by these ‘import’ markets and the threat posed by the burgeoning presence of ‘impure’ outsiders, alongside the genuine evolutions in local supply the practice represents, is vital for greater understanding on the subject. More fundamentally, at this stage, it is perhaps worth taking stock and thinking critically about what this thing called County Lines actually is. Some tentative conclusions regarding this will be made in the first section of this chapter.]
