About the course 'Introduction to the Study of Violence and Policing'

The fields of policing studies and violence studies are separate but at the same time interlinked. (Interpersonal) violence can have far-reaching consequences in terms of victimisation and overall perceptions of security. Interventions to prevent violence or mitigate its consequences rely on a constellation of different actors, including policing actors such as law enforcement. As an extension of the state, the latter policing actor enforces laws through the threat or actual use of force. While force can be applied in a legitimate way, it does not necessarily mean its consequences are less severe, and there are plenty of examples of excessive use of force as well. Read more
