Document Summary
Isn"t narrow in just government: larger issues behind politics or polis means. Police organizations function in a political context because they operate in a political arena and their mandate is political defined. Accordingly, the modes of operation of police forces change across time and place so they reflect the state and society within which they operate . Guy ben porat, policing multicultural states: lessons from the canadian model, p. 413. What does ben-porat mean: post 9/11 political policing, neo-liberal policing, police aren"t a homogenous group changes over time, diversify police force, and how they police. This moral economy is supported and enforced through social institutions, such as governments, the laws they create, the police who enforce them, as well as other disciplinary institutions within the social body. Comes to prominence after the great depression (1929); becomes the dominant mode of social organization from 1945-1973.
