Matt Lloyd-Rose - whose wonderfully reviewed account of a year with the police, INTO THE NIGHT, is out in paperback next week from Picador - chooses his current reading favourites for the Guardian’s “What We’re Reading” column.
A belated glimpse at the paperback edition of Matt Lloyd Rose’s INTO THE NIGHT, an extraordinary account of the year Matt spent as a volunteer police officer in South London.

Today's utterly vital reading. What is Imagination Activism? How to train people to be Imagination Activists? What was the experience of @PhoebeTickell doing that in Camden? Brilliant work with deep implications for every organisation. The imagination needs space. #WhatIf

“Police officers need genuine humanity, but at the same time they need to be willing to pin someone to the floor”.

“a compelling snapshot of modern policing”.
“As they seldom have the chance or permission to step back and see the wider picture, they are like doctors whose only means of intervention is the surgeon’s knife”.
