A new critical perspective for examining the dynamic nature of security and its governance
Traditionally, security has been the realm of the state and its uniformed police. However, in the last two decades, many actors and agencies, including schools, clubs, housing corporations, hospitals, shopkeepers, insurers, energy suppliers and even private citizens, have enforced some form of security, effectively changing its delivery, and overall role.
Rooted in the works of the French philosophers Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Gabriel Tarde, The Securitization of Society explores the ongoing structural and cultural changes that have impacted security in Western society from the 19th century to the present. By analyzing the new hybrid of public-private security, this volume provides deep insight into the processes of securitization and modern risk management for the police and judicial authorities as well as other emerging parties. Marc Schuilenburg draws upon four case studies of increased securitization in Europe – monitoring marijuana cultivation, urban intervention teams, road transport crime, and the collective shop ban – in order to raise important questions about citizenship, social order, and the law within this expanding new paradigm.
An innovative, interdisciplinary approach to criminological theory that incorporates philosophy, sociology, and political science, The Securitization of Society reveals how security is understood and enacted in urban environments today.
Marc Schuilenburg works on the edge of sociology, philosophy and criminology. Coming from law he decided to study philosophy - especially the work of Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Michel Foucault - to understand how the formal structures of our society work. He worked for six years for the Public Prosecution Service, before joining the Department of Criminal Law and Criminology at the VU University Amsterdam. He earned his PhD in social sciences on the workings of public-private security assemblages in urban environments today. In his latest book ‘Hysterie: Een cultuurdiagnose’ (2019), he examines the political and cultural narratives of hysteria in the 21st century. His book ‘The Securitization of Society: Crime, Risk, and Social Order’ (2015) was awarded the triennial Willem Nagel Prize by the Dutch Society of Criminology. He has been a visiting professor in New York (John Jay College, 2013) and Ipswich (University Campus Suffolk, 2014-2020). During his writing, he listens to John Coltrane, Radiohead, Four Tet, Scratch Lee Perry, Burning Spear, Caribou, Pharoah Sanders, and Morrissey. He lives in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
