{"product_id":"9781509547418","title":"Death of a Traveller : A Counter Investigation","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is a simple story. A 37-year-old man belonging to the Traveller community is shot dead by a special unit of the French police on the family farm where he was hiding since he failed to return to prison after temporary release. The officers claim self-defense. The relatives, present at the scene, contest that claim. A case is opened, and it concludes with a dismissal that is upheld on appeal. Dismayed by these decisions, the family continues the struggle for truth and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Giving each account of the event the same credit, Didier Fassin conducts a counter-investigation, based on the re-examination of all the available details and on the interviews of its protagonists. A critical reflection on the work of police forces, the functioning of the justice system, and the conditions that make such tragedies possible and seldom punished, Death of a Traveller is also an attempt to restore to these marginalized communities what they are usually denied: respectability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Pr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48831090524395,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":42.02,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781509547418-1.jpg?v=1781685728","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781509547418","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
