Concentrating on the attempts to 'modernize' the policing of Izmir, Zeynep Gonen highlights how the police force expanded their territorial control over the urban space, specifically targeting the poor and racialized segments of the city. Through in-depth interviews and ethnographic observations of these 'targeted' populations, as well as rare ethnographic data from the Turkish police, surveys of the media and politicians' rhetoric, Gonen shows how Kurdish migrants have been criminalized as dangerous 'enemies' of the order. In studying the ideological and material processes of criminalization, The Politics of Crime in Turkey makes the case for the neoliberal politics of crime that uses the notion of 'security' to legitimize violence and authoritarianism. The book will be of interest to criminologists, as well as those investigating the modern Turkish state and its relationship to the Kurds in the wider region. The multilayered methodology and conceptual approach sheds light on parallel developments in penal and security systems across the globe."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Library of modern Turkey ;23.CrimePolitical aspectsTurkeyKurdsTurkeyNeoliberalismTurkeyPoliceTurkeyLiberalism & centre democratic ideologiesCrimePolitical aspectsKurdsNeoliberalismPoliceGönen Zeynep1263333UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910156167903321The politics of crime in Turkey2960621UNINA
