La police au sens large – nationale, municipale, privée, gendarmerie – constitue un véritable acteur du jeu politique et un enjeu d’une centralité croissante dans le débat public. Mais elle est aussi un instrument de production de sens et de représentations politiques en ce qu’elle contribue à l’émergence de catégories descriptives qui participent de l’imaginaire collectif : crime crapuleux, outrage, racaille, violence collective, manifestation, ordre public… en sont des exemples connus. La police est devenue un élément incontournable des sociétés contemporaines.Pourquoi et comment la police s’est-elle constituée ? Quelle est la nature de l’organisation policière et quels rapports entretient-elle avec les autorités politiques ? Qui sont les agents de police (leur origine, leur profil) ? En quoi consistent leurs activités et quelles en sont les déviances ? Quelles transformations et réformes sont aujourd’hui possibles ?Pour répondre à l’ensemble de ces questions, ce manuel sans équivalent propose à la fois une sociologie et une science politique de la police. Riche en exemples dépassant le seul cadre français, appuyé sur de nombreux travaux de terrain et une dense littérature, il vient éclairer de manière originale les rapports entre la police et le politique, et interroger le fonctionnement de nos démocraties.

"The field of environmental criminology is a staple theoretical framework in contemporary criminological theory. This fully revised and expanded edition of the world's first comprehensive and sole-authored textbook on this influential school of criminological thought covers a wide range of topics, including: - the origins of environmental criminology; -the primary theoretical frameworks, such as social disorganization theory, the routine activity approach, geometry of crime, rational choice perspective, and multilevel models that integrate environmental criminology; -the practical application of environmental criminology; -an examination of how theories are operationalized and tested; and -policy implications for the practice of crime prevention. As well as these popular topics, Martin Andresen also discusses a number of topics that are at the leading edge of research within environmental criminology. New to the third edition is expanded coverage on multilevel models of environmental criminology, harm indices, crime mapping, hot-spot policing, and future directions in environmental criminology. This text will be ideal for courses on crime prevention, where students are often encouraged to consider policy problems and apply theory to practice. This book offers up environmental criminology as a theoretical framework for making sense of complex neighbourhood problems, so it is also perfect for courses on geography of crime, crime analysis, and, indeed, environmental criminology. It would also be a good supplement for courses on criminological theory"--

Examines the history of the Hong Kong crime film before 1986Departs from the predominant focus on action aesthetics in studies of Hong Kong cinema to focus on the early crime film's close links to local society and politicsDraws on years of research on censorship and the crime film in archives in Hong Kong and in the United KingdomProvides ample evidence of the often-overlooked role film censorship played in shaping Hong Kong genre cinemaConnects the appearance of the modern crime film in the late 1960s and 1970s to the growing consciousness of a distinctive Hong Kong identityHong Kong Crime Films is the first book detailing the post-war history of the genre before the release of John Woo's A Better Tomorrow (1986), the film that put Hong Kong action-crime on the global map. Focusing on what it calls the mode of 'criminal realism' in the crime film, the book shows how depictions of Hong Kong's social reality (including crime) were for decades anxiously policed by colonial censors, and how crime films tended (and still tend) to confound and transgress critical definitions of realism.Drawing on extensive archival research, Hong Kong Crime Films covers several neglected topics in the study of Hong Kong cinema, such as the evolving generic landscape of the crime film prior to the 1980s, the influence of colonial film censorship on the genre, and the prominence and contestation of realism" in the local history of the crime film."
