Policing

According to Garland, "Protecting the public has become the dominant theme of penal policy...[and] the risk of unrestrained risk of state authorities, of arbitrary power and the violation of civil liberties seem no longer to figure so prominently in public concern" (qtd. in Gates 2011, p. 92). Governing too much threatens more organic orders such as families, markets or societies, but governing too little threatens the ability to keep order and maintain civil liberties [Rose Powers of Freedom p. 70] (Gates, 2011, p. 92).
