Comprising fourteen articles by leading international contributors, including some of the most prominent socio-legal and criminological scholars working in the field, this volume is currently the only work available that critically examines W.G. Carson and his crucial influence in the turn towards sociological approaches to criminology and a criminological interest in governance and social control.The 1970s witnessed an epiphany in the sociological understanding of crime in Britain. The correctional perspective, which assumed crimes had inherent or essential qualities that distinguished them from other acts, was superseded by the analysis of how social events came to be defined as so harmful and repugnant as to require criminalization. This shift in perspectives was exemplified in W.G. Carson's work, which combines a Marxist acknowledgement of the imperative for profit with a symbolic interactionist attention to the restraining effect of prestige and status among producers and regulators. This key work is an essential read for postgraduates and researchers studying and researching in the areas of criminology and law.

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.
