About The Book

<p>What are the potential contributions of anthropology to the study of police? Even beyond the methodological particularities and geographic breadth of cultural anthropology there are a set of conceptual and analytical traditions that have much to bring to broader scholarship in police studies. </p><p>Including original and international contributions from both senior and emerging scholars this pioneering book represents a foundational document for a burgeoning field of study: the anthropology of police. The chapters in this volume open up the question of police in new ways: mining the disciplinary legacies of anthropology in order to discover new conceptual tools methods and pedagogies; reworking relationships between police public and researcher in ways that open up new avenues for exploration at the same time as they articulate new demands; and retracing a hauntology that through interactions with individuals and collectives constitutes a body politic through the figure of police.</p><p>Illustrating the various ways that anthropology enables a reassessment of the police/violence relationship with a broad consideration of the human stakes at the center this book will be of interest to criminologists sociologists anthropologists and the broad interdisciplinary field invested in the study of policing order-making and governance.</p>
