Document Summary
Nothing natural about cjs it was/is progressively evolving. Maps lie states not only natural evolutionarily superior institutions. There are variety of non-state institutions that govern you. Not a single institution set of processes wilfully directed towards the production of order and proffering assurance of safety and security. This definition of policing makes notion broader + broader concept of social control. If we do it deliberately towards social order/ order production is when it becomes policing (other examples: mall police, campus police, cyber security aka private actors) Public police only came to be dominant forces of social order in 1950-1965 (empirical ascendency of dominancy) Private police is much larger/ significant than public policing we imagine public policing to be dominant but that is false. The historical origins of the concept of police. Police traditionally mean the maintenance of good market functioning. It was all of the activity that the government and private actors engaged to maintain the well functioning of markets.
