Traditionally, security has been the realm of the state and its
uniformed police. However, in the last two decades, many actors and
agencies, including schools, clubs, housing corporations,
hospitals, shopkeepers, insurers, energy suppliers and even private
citizens, have enforced some form of security, effectively changing
its delivery, and overall role. In The Securitization of Society,
Marc Schuilenburg establishes a new critical perspective for
examining the dynamic nature of security and its governance. Rooted
in the works of the French philosophers Michel Foucault, Gilles
Deleuze and Gabriel Tarde, this book explores the ongoing
structural and cultural changes that have impacted security in
Western society from the 19th century to the present. By analyzing
the new hybrid of public-private security, this volume provides
deep insight into the processes of securitization and modern risk
management for the police and judicial authorities as well as other
emerging parties. Schuilenburg draws upon four case studies of
increased securitization in Europe - monitoring marijuana
cultivation, urban intervention teams, road transport crime, and
the collective shop ban - in order to raise important questions
about citizenship, social order, and the law within this expanding
new paradigm. An innovative, interdisciplinary approach to
criminological theory that incorporates philosophy, sociology, and
political science, The Securitization of Society reveals how
security is understood and enacted in urban environments today.
