Nightlife is a place of both real and imagined risk, a 'frontier'
(Melbin 1978) where apparent freedom and transgression are closely
linked, and where regulation of leisure and collective intoxication
has been diffused throughout an expanding network of state and
private actors. This book explores Sydney's contemporary night-time
economy as the product of an intersection of both local and global
transformations, as policing comes to incorporate more and more
'private' personnel empowered to regulate 'public' drinking and
nightlife. Policing Nightlife focuses on the historical and social
conditions, cultural meanings and regulatory controls that have
shaped both public and private forms of policing and security in
contemporary urban nightlife. In so doing, it reflects more broadly
on global changes in the nature of contemporary policing and how
aspects of neoliberalism and the ideal of the '24-hour city' have
shaped policing, security and night-time leisure. Based on a decade
of research and interviews with both police and doorstaff working
in nightlife settings, it explores the effectiveness of policies
governing policing and private security in the night-time economy
in the context of media, political and public debates about
regulation, and the gendered and highly masculine aspects of much
of this work. An accessible and compelling read, this book will
appeal to students and scholars of criminology, policing, sociology
and those interested in understanding the debates surrounding
security, policing and contemporary urban nightlife.
