Course Catalog Description
This course explores a wide range of critical scholarship on policing. We begin by
developing a sociological conceptualization of “policing” before proceeding to examine the
emergence of police in the modern period. Focusing on the case of the United States, we
trace the historical development of policing from the colonial era through the contemporary period.
