Policing Narratives and the State of Terror examines the relationship between domestic policing and international policy through an analysis of contemporary popular detective fiction, police procedurals, police autobiography, security reports, and chronicles of domestic spying. Robin Truth Goodman connects these accounts of policing to the changing shape of the contemporary nation-state, marked by the denationalization of labor; commercial and criminal laws that jump borders more quickly than civil law protections; and the replacement of legal precedent by unrepeatable, exceptional executive decisions. Working at the intersection of literature, international law, and globalized commerce, Goodman astutely pinpoints how policing has become an increasingly troublesome instrument of empire, particularly in terms of national sovereignty and the growing numbers of mercenary private security forces.Police in literatureDetective and mystery stories, AmericanHistory and criticismDetective and mystery stories, EnglishHistory and criticismPoliceUnited StatesBiographyHistory and criticismLaw enforcement in literatureSovereignty in literatureState, The, in literatureLaw enforcementPolitical aspectsWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009Political aspectsPolice in literature.Detective and mystery stories, AmericanHistory and criticism.Detective and mystery stories, EnglishHistory and criticism.PoliceHistory and criticism.Law enforcement in literature.Sovereignty in literature.State, The, in literature.Law enforcementPolitical aspects.War on Terrorism, 2001-2009Political aspects.823/./087209581Goodman Robin Truth1966-866879MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818610103321Policing narratives and the state of terror4067676UNINA
