This collection focuses on the cultural history of the police as an
institution from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Contrary
to most studies on the law and the state, "Police Forces"
demonstrates how profoundly modern democracies are enveloped by
more informal and less codified modes of social control. In a time
when the rule of law appears to be on the retreat, "police studies"
emerges as a field in its own right. This volume helps stake out
this new discipline, including the intricate link between police
and the law, "might" and "right," state violence, surveillance
technologies, politics and resistance. "Police Forces" considers
the question of law and order from below: alleyways, borders,
police stations, law offices, bureaucracies, and the minds of
administrators, in which the quotidian workings of the law unfold.
