Description
WILLEM DE LINT and ALAN HALL, Intelligent Control: Developments in Public Order Policing in Canada. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2009, 365 p., index. Intelligent Control documents recent as well as historical shifts in the policing of strikes and protests in Canada. A fine example of what two talented intellectuals with different scholarly backgrounds can accomplish when collaborating, this book couples the literature about public policing with the critical insights of political economy. Specifically, de Lint and Hall ask why a conciliatory policing approach was adopted at the very moment when political economists thought a return to coercion had occurred due to the emergence of neoliberal economic policies (see Panitch and Swartz 2003). Tracing the historical development of public policing, de Lint and Hall examine the complex relationship that plays out between coercion and consent in the transition from Fordism to Post-Fordism.
