There is a growing sense that many liberal states are in the midst
of a shift in legal and political norms - a shift that is happening
slowly and for a variety of security-related reasons. The internet
and tech booms that are paving the way for new forms of electronic
surveillance predated the 9/11 attacks by several years, while the
police's vast use of secret informants and deceptive operations
began well before that. On the other hand, the recent uptick in
reactionary movements - movements in which the rule of law seems
expendable - began many years after 9/11 and continues to this day.
In The Retrieval of Liberalism in Policing, Luke William Hunt
provides an account of how policing in liberal societies has become
illiberal, in light of both internal and external threats to
security. Hunt provides an examination of the moral limits on
modern police practices that flow from the basic legal and
philosophical tenets of the liberal tradition, arguing that
policing in liberal states is constrained by a liberal conception
of persons coupled with particular principles of the rule of law.
Part I lays out the book's theoretical foundation, beginning with
an overview of the police's law enforcement role in the liberal
polity and a methodology for evaluating that role. Part II
addresses applications of that theory, including the police's use
of informants, deceptive operations, and surveillance. Hunt
concludes by emphasizing how the liberal conception of persons and
the rule of law constrain policing from multiple foundational
stances, making the key point that policing in liberal societies
has become illiberal in light of its response to both internal and
external threats to security. Overall, this book provides an
account of what it might mean to retrieve policing that is
consistent with the basic tenets of liberalism and the limits
imposed by those tenets.
