The result is a significant and provocative social analysis of police power, broadly understood."--Ian Loader, Professor of Criminology, Director of the Oxford Centre for Criminology, and Fellow of All Souls College "This terrific book brings together scholars from a range of disciplines who share a sense that police forces and the legal doctrine of the state's 'police power' have a greater connection than is usually believed--that the common vocabulary reflects common roots in a particular worldview, which is profoundly antiliberal and antilegalistic."--David Alan Sklansky, Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California, Berkeley |

| Publisher Description: This interdisciplinary and international volume provides a critical analysis of the power to police as a basic technology of modern government found in a vast array of sites of governance, including not only the state, but also the household, the factory, the military, and-most recently-the global realm of war, police actions, and peace keeping. |
