Excellent- More about The Horror of Police
The Horror of Police exposes the horrors of a social order reproduced and maintained by the violence of police, showing that police violence is not a deviation but rather a deliberate and permanent fixture of U.S. "law and order." Only when viewed through the refracted motif of horror stories can we begin to reckon the limits of police and imagine a world without them.

The crisis persists year after year, with graft and corruption, violence, and murder claiming city streets. Despite promises of reform, police operate with impunity, unaccountable to the law. In The Horror of Police, Travis Linnemann explores why policing remains the best, perhaps the only means of security in an insecure world, despite an open record of violence and corruption.
Linnemann draws on the language and texts of horror fiction to recast the police as self-proclaimed "monster fighters" but as monsters themselves, a terrifying force set loose in the world. By purposefully misreading a collection of everyday police stories, such as TV cop dramas, detective fiction, news media accounts, and the direct words of police, Linnemann reveals the monstrous violence at the heart of liberal social order.
The Horror of Police shows that police violence is not a deviation but rather a deliberate and permanent fixture of U.S. "law and order." Only when viewed through the refracted motif of horror stories can we begin to reckon the limits of police and imagine a world without them.
