stormdogPhilosophical thoughts on the role, meaning, and place of police in society from N+1 Magazine.
I'm not familiar with this magazine. My advisor posted the link on her Facebook page. Some of this reminds me of China Mieville's "The City and the City" and the role of Breach, dealing with the things we don't want to see or acknowledge. It makes me want to follow up with some of the ethnographic work done on police mentioned within.
It's also interesting to read this and think about my own encounters with police, positive and negative, and of the college students I just heard speak this Friday who glowingly described their internships with local police departments. These things are deep.
