Middle Eastern police forces have a reputation for carrying out
repression and surveillance on behalf of authoritarian regimes,
despite frequently under enforcing the law. But what is their role
in co-creating and sustaining social order? In this book, Jessica
Watkins focuses on the development of the Jordanian police
institution to demonstrate that rather than being primarily
concerned with law enforcement, the police are first and foremost
concerned with order. In Jordan, social order combines the
influence of longstanding tribal practices with regime efforts to
promote neoliberal economic policies alongside a sense of civic
duty amongst citizens. Rather than focusing on the 'high policing'
of offences deemed to threaten state security, Watkins explores the
'low policing' of interpersonal disputes including assault, theft,
murder, traffic accidents, and domestic abuse to shed light on the
varied strategies of power deployed by the police alongside other
societal actors to procure hegemonic 'consent'.
