In Thrall to Political Change is the first history of the French
police and gendarmerie, for the period since the establishment of a
democratic Republican regime in 1870 down to the present day. Based
on archival material and on the vast amount of recent research by
French scholars on the subject, it covers dramatic and often
harrowing developments--anarchist and communist subversion, violent
demonstrations and strikes, fascist threats, war and occupation,
colonial conflicts and regime change--which have made policing in
France troubled and controversial. As well as a chronological
history, the book contains a thematic treatment of the police and
the Republican regime (including the complex police-justice and
police-military relations, the politics of police officials
analyzing the charge of racism, politico-police scandals, and
inequalities of policing), of major controversies (over political
policing, municipal or central control of the police, and
modernization), and of areas which pose problems for which there is
no clear solution (use of force and police violence, police
accountability, private security, and internationalization). In
conclusion, the relations between the police and the public, and
the place of the police in the political order are assessed.
In Thrall to Political Change is inter-disciplinary in approach
using the academic literature in sociology, history, political
science, criminal justice as well as the writings of police
practitioners. The subject is placed in the context of
international debates on policing, and the language used is free of
jargon and the use, without explanation, of French terms. The
bibliography and sources are a basic guide for further study of the
subject.
