Description
This book breaks new ground in our struggle to understand how social control has become an increasingly sought after commodity in contemporary societies. Offering a sophisticated account of the political, economic and cultural forces at work in creating the "parapolice," Rigakos helps to deconstruct how threats, markets and organizational dynamics have reshaped the way we understand and respond to crime. Rigakos's analysis should prove especially valuable in mapping the new directions that social control will take in response to emerging threats, both real and imagined.
