Description: |
This is a critical examination of the role of policing in the provision of justice, highlighting how different communities and groups have sought alternatives to policing. It also shows a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches for the critical evaluation of law enforcement. |
Synopsis: |
It has become somewhat axiomatic to refer to the police as the 'gatekeepers' of the criminal justice system and thus as a mechanism for the provision of justice. And yet, when we conceptualize the police in this way, what is often taken for granted is the exact nature of that role and its larger social meaning. Indeed, we know that police deliver justice more efficiently to some and injustice to others. Rethinking Policing and Justice critically examines the role of policing (both state and non-state forms) in the provision of justice (and injustice). In essence, it presents work that highlights how different communities and groups have sought alternatives to policing, sometimes taking over the functions of policing. It also shows a variety of theoretical, methodology, and other approaches for the critical evaluation of law enforcement, highlighing different insights into alternative modes of policing, as we seek to understand and redraft the relationship between policing and justice. This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Justice Review. |
