“Expertly surveying Canada’s shifting landscape of policing sexuality, Resisting Police in Queer Spaces is a brilliant demonstration of how police organizations close-down queer spaces, foment divisions, and reinforce racial, sexual, and class hierarchies in Two-Spirit, queer, and trans communities. DeGagné crafts a compelling, cutting-edge account of fierce contests over police incursions in queer publics that deserves to be widely read.” Emma Russell, La Trobe University
“Resisting Police in Queer Spaces provides an in-depth investigation into the criminalization and surveillance of queers in public space. DeGagné engages with current interdisciplinary debates on human rights, police power, the state, settler colonialism, and the definitions of public and private.” Tom Hooper, York University
