Jeremy Bentham on Police by Scott Jacques
Recovering Bentham's thoughts on policing and what they mean for criminology today.
Jeremy Bentham theorized the panopticon as modern policing emerged across the British Empire, yet while his theoretical writing became canonical in criminology, his perspective on the police remains obscure. Jeremy Bentham on Police recovers the reformer's writings on policing alongside a series of essays that demonstrate their significance to the past, present, and future of criminology.
