30267 - Policing and Military Sociology

Sun, August 10, 8:00 to 9:30am, West Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Ballroom Level/Gold, New Orleans

Description

Law enforcement and the military represent strategic sites for examining core concepts in sociology including but not limited to state power, violence, labor, inequality, race, and place. Papers in this session examine the privatization of military and security functions, factors shaping perceived legitimacy of traffic stops, how soldiers navigate morally fraught terrain, the racialized politics of crime control, and the experience of post-incarceration reentry among veterans.
