Policing Cities brings together international scholars from
numerous disciplines to examine urban policing, securitization, and
regulation in nine countries and the conceptual issues these
practices raise. Chapters cover many of the world's major cities,
including New York, Beijing, Paris, London, Berlin, Mexico City,
Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, Boston, Melbourne, and Toronto, as
well as other urban areas in Britain, United States, South Africa,
Germany, Australia and Georgia. The collection examines the
activities and reforms of the traditional public police, but also
those of emerging public and private policing agents and spaces
that fall outside the public police's purview and which previously
have received little attention. It explores dramatic changes in
public policing arrangements and strategies, exclusion of urban
homeless people, new forms of urban surveillance and legal
regulation, and securitization and militarization of urban spaces.
The core argument in the volume is that cities are more than mere
background for policing, securitization and regulation. Policing
and the city are intimately intertwined. This collection also
reveals commonalities in the empirical interests, methodological
preferences, and theoretical concerns of scholars working in these
various disciplines and breaks down barriers among them. This is
the first collection on urban policing, regulation, and
securitization with such a multi-disciplinary and international
character. This collection will have a wide readership among upper
level undergraduate and graduate level students in several
disciplines and countries and can be used in geography/urban
studies, legal and socio-legal studies, sociology, anthropology,
political science, and criminology courses.
