Document Summary
Policing: critical thinking is not in demand, we defer to the police basis of social order, producing the order it is a limited view of social order. E. g grade 8 kids picking on grade 6 kids. They don"t go after high school or university students. This would be the kings peace: victim of the state is the queen, to serve and protect is incomplete. To those who have the best interest of the peace. Legal mandate: legal actors as individuals or collectively, legal license or capability to be used in peace keeping activities. [police have legal and legitimate monopoly over violence: legally they can justify it with warrants and apparatus, operate with legal domain law = symbolic background of what police can do, law enforcement is the least important. 90% has nothing to do with law enforcement: law grants them authority that we don"t have.
