AP/CRIM 3655 3.00

Policing

Crosslisted: AP/SOSC 3655

This course explores questions and debates about the relationships between policing, regulation and contested meanings of order. Centrally, the course explores the relationships between state-based policing, policing-at-a-distance, emerging community practices and private regulatory initiatives to ask what it means to talk about policing in a neoliberal risk society. Topics of discussion may include plural policing, risk management, zero tolerance policing, home surveillance, CCTV and the regulation of financial markets. Students can expect to become familiar with a range of criminological debates about policing in Canada as well as with a variety of policing strategies that emanate from diverse sites and locales.
