What is The New Police Science: The Police Power in Domestic and International Governance (Critical Perspectives on Crime and Law) about?

<p><p>This timely volume provides a critical analysis of the most comprehensive and least comprehended of state powers, the power to police, broadly understood as the power to maximize public welfare&#151;or, more colorfully, its &#147;peace, order, and good government.&#8221;<BR>Featuring contributions by leading scholars from several countries working in a variety of fields, including law, criminology, political science, history, sociology, and social theory, The New Police Science examines the power to police as a basic technology of modern government that appears in a vast array of sites of governance, including not only the state, but also the household, the factory, the military, and&#151;most recently&#151;the global realm of war, police actions, and peacekeeping. This volume resurrects and radically re-envisions the once thriving study of police science as a comprehensive critical inquiry into the nature of governance.<p></p>
