Preferred term

postmodern policing  

Definition

  • DefinitionA quick literature review suggests that there is no possibility of constructing uncontested definitions of the terms ‘postmodern’, ‘postmodernity’ and ‘postmodernism’ because of their disparate origins and interdisciplinary utilization. Consequently, prominent practitioners of postmodern thinking exhibit considerable differences in the nature and scope of their enquiries, as well as their particular emphases.
