What are the potential contributions of anthropology to the study
of police? Even beyond the methodological particularities and
geographic breadth of cultural anthropology, there are a set of
conceptual and analytical traditions that have much to bring to
broader scholarship in police studies. Including original and
international contributions from both senior and emerging scholars,
this pioneering book represents a foundational document for a
burgeoning field of study: the anthropology of police. The chapters
in this volume open up the question of police in new ways: mining
the disciplinary legacies of anthropology in order to discover new
conceptual tools, methods, and pedagogies; reworking relationships
between "police," "public," and "researcher" in ways that open up
new avenues for exploration at the same time as they articulate new
demands; and retracing a hauntology that, through interactions with
individuals and collectives, constitutes a body politic through the
figure of police. Illustrating the various ways that anthropology
enables a reassessment of the police/violence relationship with a
broad consideration of the human stakes at the center, this book
will be of interest to criminologists, sociologists,
anthropologists, and the broad interdisciplinary field invested in
the study of policing, order-making, and governance.
