An excellent introduction to the subject for young adults.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of us in liberal democratic countries think that we live under the rule of law. Governments make the rules, we live by them and the police enforce them if we try to break them. \u003cem\u003eThe Force of Law\u003c\/em\u003e critically examines these assumptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAward-winning criminologist Mariana Valverde makes clear that while the law is usually regarded as the civilized, non-violent way to deal with harms and conflicts, violence is integral to law. After all, police are authorized to handcuff, manhandle, taser, and even kill people, and courts of law confine people to prison and, in some countries, order that they be put to death. Valverde shows that \"proper\" law is not always distinguishable from the rules imposed by various bodies of armed men. Worldwide, private security guards often act like police, but they serve their private clients, not the public at large.
