Authorities often fear societal change as it implies finding a new
balance to live together within society. Whether it is defined by
economic, political, social or cultural factors, the transformation
of life in society is considered by authorities as a 'risk' that
needs to be framed and controlled. The state's response to this
situation of transformation can be analysed through the prism of
the police. Informally or not, police systems adapt their
regulatory frameworks, their structures and their practices in
order to respond risks, new threats and new rules. This process,
which is mostly of a contemporary nature, is also deeply historic.
Analysing it on the long run is therefore particularly relevant.
From the late nineteenth-century until the second half of the
twentieth-century, Policing New Risks in Modern European History
provides a panorama of political and police reactions to the
'risks' of societal change in a Western European perspective,
focusing on Belgium, France, and The Netherlands, but also colonial
perspectives.
