303. On Domestic Surveillance.

Abstract

The problem of domestic surveillance and crime control has been stimulated by what might be called the 21st century version of the "phony war," a term used to describe the relatively eight months period between the invasions of Poland Sept 1, 1939 and the activation of allied troops when the Germans invaded Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands on May 10, 1940, that now can be applied to the "war against terror." Since September 11, 2001, a number of developments at the federal level have taken place, and some of the more dramatic moves of the Bush administration debated and made public. These federally funded and driven moves to control the domestic population will be listed and described in this chapter, including the provisions of the two patriot acts, surveillance of emails and phone via large communications carriers (Google et al); and a the growth of a large telecommunications scanning capacity by NSA. The growth of CCTV and related surveillance capacities has been well studied in the UK but less scrutinized in North America. The most obvious efforts at managing communication and surveillance have risen to public attention as a result of demonstrations, conventions and protests in North America (See Manning in Amir, 2003, Manning in Dupont and Wood, 2006). My own work on the policing of the Convention of the Democratic Party in Boston in 2004 suggests a complex network of communication-scanning and visual monitoring that was only partially known to the public. The chapter will focus on the growing capacity of local police departments to monitor local political activity and not incidentally crimes of the dangerous classes. The key study featured in the chapter will be two developments in Boston: "Operation Red Zone," an aborted planning effort by the Boston police in early 2006, and a current project to fund at 1.5 million a surveillance system of cameras and microphones hidden in telephone poles and above streets that are sited in the poorest, most violent and disorganized neighborhoods of the city as a part of the Mayor’s campaign against violence. The study will draw on interviews, maps prepared by the Boston Police Department’s crime analysts, and observations in the areas that are watched. This case study will be put in the context of democratic policing as ideal type that is based on equality in society as well as policing that seeks to avoid further damage to the quality of life in areas i.e. avoid increasing existing inequalities. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

305. Politics and Metaphors in Police Studies.

Author

Manning, Peter K.

Subjects
*BOOKS & reading, *PUBLIC administration
Abstract

The article presents a review essay for two books based on police. These books are "Above the Law," by Jerome Skolnick and James Fyfe and "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets," by David Simon. Although very different in style and substance, each book represents a kind of policy-relevant research. The second book is an ethnographically inspired study written by a reporter who in 1988 observed two squads of Baltimore homicide detectives. It is close to the action, sympathetic to the police and arguably the finest available treatise on detectives. The first book, stimulated by the beating of Los Angeles car driver Rodney King, assesses occasions, explanations and remedies for police violence. It makes a plausible case for the centrality of applied violence to the police mandate and connects violence with the vigilante American past, interrogations and organizational context. In the explanations section they use metaphors of paramilitary bureaucracy, occupational subculture and the insulation of policing from public controls. A final section outlines remedies such as police administrative reform, court-based reform and public review and other internal reforms.
