商品簡介
Taken from work at a June 2004 workshop held at the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy at State U, of New York-Buffalo Law School, this collection of ten interdisciplinary essays deals with the power to police in the interest of maximizing public welfare. With the variety of ways in which the word "police" can be defined in mind, and the number of contexts in which it can be applied, contributors describe how the power and science of policing have changed in light of recent US action, how the new science of policing has been influenced by theory, theories of the state in spiritual and earthly policing in early modern Europe, police powers from a postcolonial perspective, police power and criminal law, traffic policing as a civilizing process, military intervention as a form of policing, international police and locating the idea of policing within genealogies, discourses, locales and principles.
