Despite the fact that any semblance of a “police studies” in geography is relatively recent, with calls for its development and expansion still being made in the literature today, geographers have nevertheless made important contributions to how scholars understand police and policing as a multifaceted manifestation of state power, coercion, and territoriality. Given the formative contributions that have already been made, and with promises of increased scholarly activity to come, there remains much opportunity for geography to become the go‐to social scientific discipline for translating theory into action and advanced methods into practice. This is particularly so given heightened and widespread credence to the concept of defunding policing as we know it in the wake of continued and increasingly ruthless killings by police across the United States. In this article on police and policing in geography, I trace the brief history of a police studies, highlighting recent and contemporary contributions to its progress through critical examinations of community‐, border‐, affective‐, and insidious‐policing practices. Finally, I conclude with a brief discussion about how a police/policing studies can move forward as a durable geographical sub‐field vis‐à‐vis greater inclusion of would‐be scholars for whom being policed has been a lived experience that has resulted in personal encounters with hyper‐criminalization, displacement, expulsion, un‐homing, and incarceration.

地理上的警察和警务：从方法到理论，再到实践

尽管地理上“警察研究”的任何相似之处都是相对较新的，但当今文学界仍在呼吁对其进行发展和扩展，但是地理学家仍为学者如何将警察和警务理解为一种多面的表现做出了重要贡献。国家权力，强制和领土。鉴于已经做出的形成性贡献，并有望增加学术活动，地理学仍然有很大的机会成为社会科学学科，将理论转化为行动，将先进方法转化为实践。众所周知，在全美各地警察不断残酷地杀人之后，对治安维持不变资金这一概念的信任得到了越来越广泛的认可。在有关警察和地理警务的本文中，我回顾了警察研究的简要历史，重点介绍了通过对社区，边界，情感和阴险警务实践进行批判性检查，对近期和当代对警务研究进展做出的贡献。最后，我以简短的讨论作为结束，讨论警察/警务研究如何作为持久的地理子领域前进，而不是将更多的可能受到治安的学者纳入其中，这是他们的活生生经验。与超罪化，流离失所，驱逐，迁徙和监禁的个人接触。在有关警察和地理警务的本文中，我回顾了警察研究的简要历史，重点介绍了通过对社区，边界，情感和阴险警务实践进行批判性检查，对近期和当代对警务研究进展做出的贡献。最后，我以简短的讨论作为结束，讨论警察/警务研究如何作为持久的地理子领域前进，而不是将更多的可能被治安的学者纳入其中，这是他们的活生生经验。与超罪化，流离失所，驱逐，迁徙和监禁的个人接触。在有关警察和地理警务的本文中，我回顾了警察研究的简要历史，重点介绍了通过对社区，边界，情感和阴险警务实践进行批判性检查，对近期和当代对警务研究进展做出的贡献。最后，我以简短的讨论作为结束，讨论警察/警务研究如何作为持久的地理子领域前进，而不是将更多的可能被治安的学者纳入其中，这是他们的活生生经验。与超罪化，流离失所，驱逐，迁徙和监禁的个人接触。和阴险警务做法。最后，我以简短的讨论作为结束，讨论警察/警务研究如何作为持久的地理子领域前进，而不是将更多的可能被治安的学者纳入其中，这是他们的活生生经验。与超罪化，流离失所，驱逐，迁徙和监禁的个人接触。和阴险警务做法。最后，我以简短的讨论作为结束，讨论警察/警务研究如何作为持久的地理子领域前进，而不是将更多的可能被治安的学者纳入其中，这是他们的活生生经验。与超罪化，流离失所，驱逐，迁徙和监禁的个人接触。
