Concept information
Preferred term
policing: high versus low
Definition
- Jean-Paul Brodeur coined the term high policing in 1983 as a way to differentiate between the use of the police to maintain political order in the face of political activities and the use of the police to maintain public order in the face of everyday crime. He originally used the term to illustrate the use of the police as an instrument of political control in the 1960s and 1970s in United States and Canada.
