This text argues that policing, far from being the exclusive preserve of the police, is an activity undertaken by a mixture of public, private, and quasi-public agents and proposes that the emergence of the "new police" (since 1829) signals a complete break with earlier, private modes of provision.

Government has been radically transformed over the past few decades; this book traces the nature of various governmental changes by looking at security and accesses how justice can be conceived within the governance of security.
