WGST 233 - Policing and the Rule of Law: Gender, Race, and Citizenship4 credits
Analyzes the relation between policing and the rule of law; How does one define the police and their role in ensuring security? Discusses conceptions of the state, the rule of law and their critiques. Addresses policing as a site of state power - including its history and the role it plays in societies. Examines, also, debates on policing emerging out of specific U.S. cities. Connects state and policing to the use of science. Draws from Political Theory, films, TV shows and stories, to trace the way in which law and policing interacts with science. The discussion of state, rule of law, policing, or science may highlight how the experience of these institutions are mediated centrally by particular identities such as race, gender, and class. Same as PSCI 233 . CLA-Diversity/US, CLA-Breadth/Interdisciplinary
