Crisis and Control explains how neoliberal transformations of
political and economic systems are militarising the policing of
protest, based on a compelling empirical study of police agencies
and practices from 1995 until the present. Lesley J. Wood shows
that the increasing role of the security and defense industries,
professional police associations, anti-terrorism initiatives and
'best practices' in policing networks have accelerated the use of
less lethal weapons, pre-emptive arrests, infiltration and
barricading strategies against protesters. The book uses Bourdieu
and Boltanski to analyse court transcripts, police reports, policy,
training materials and the conference programs of professional
police organisations to argue that police agencies are neither
omnipotent strategists, nor simple tools of the elite, but
institutions struggling to maintain legitimacy, resources and
autonomy in a changing field.
