New technology has offered the public the opportunity to witness police use of force far more frequently than in the past - and has brought into sharp focus a number of big questions. Craig Boylstein addresses current controversies, analyses how force is applied in various contexts and across various populations, and considers the role of policing as social control in the modern state.
