It has become somewhat axiomatic to refer to the police as the
gatekeepers of the criminal justice system and thus as a mechanism
for the provision of justice. And yet, when we conceptualize the
police in this way, what is often taken for granted is the exact
nature of that role and its larger social meaning. Indeed, we know
that police deliver justice more efficiently to some and injustice
to others. Rethinking Policing and Justice critically examines the
role of policing (both state and non-state forms) in the provision
of justice (and injustice). In essence, it presents work that
highlights how different communities and groups have sought
alternatives to policing, sometimes taking over the functions of
policing. It also shows a variety of theoretical, methodology, and
other approaches for the critical evaluation of law enforcement,
highlighing different insights into alternative modes of policing,
as we seek to understand and redraft the relationship between
policing and justice.
