“…'While Polizei constituted a program of total regulation it was at the same time nonjuridical, seeking not to adjudicate the legality of completed actions but rather attempting to define the conditions of good order and public safety in advance. The future becomes calculable in terms of a potentially exhaustive set of situations whose outcomes can be weighed and regulated … This program was then in effect self-sustaining or self-regulating' (Tribe 1984). 6.…”

Foucault: Critical Theory of the Police in a Neoliberal Age

In Discipline and Punish the police is a state institution isomorphic with the prison. In his Collège de France lectures, Foucault unearths a 'secret history of the police' where greater attention is paid to public health, social welfare and regulating the marketplace than investigating and arresting criminals. This broad overview of Foucault's writings on the police exhibits a 'splintering-effect' in his modalities of power. To resolve this apparent contradiction, a nominalist reading that conflates Foucault's divergent paradigms of power results in a more multifaceted history and a ubiquitous mode of power with diverse and precise techniques. There are strengths and weaknesses in Foucault's theory when applied to modern neoliberal police. Foucault should not be employed for one-dimensional criticisms of modern police or as an analytical cure-all.

The article distinguishes between the various arguments traditionally offered as justifications for the principle of academic freedom. Four main arguments are identified, three consequentialist in nature (the argument from truth, the democratic argument, the argument from autonomy), and one nonconsequentialist (a variant of the autonomy argument). The article also concentrates on the specific form these arguments must take in order to establish academic freedom as a principle distinct from the more general principles of freedom of expression and intellectual freedom.

“…In Britain the movement of labourers and the poor was heavily regulated under the Settlement and Removal Act of 1662, which allowed for the removal to the parish of their birth of those seeking poor relief, and the Settlement Act of 1697, which governed the movement of the poor through the use of certificates for residence or travel and made those in receipt of poor relief and their families sport a badge identifying themselves as such (Dean 1991, Hindle 2004. Commerce was also heavily regulated, with close attention being paid to the quality and price of goods sold at market and the level of wages, which in times of difficulty could be fixed (Firth 2002, Tribe 1984.…”
