  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Security Society

Part of the book series: Crime Prevention and Security Management ((CPSM))

  • 304 Accesses

Abstract

The concluding chapter draws together the various strands of the argument, reiterating the links between the arguments of individual chapters and the guiding themes of the book: Foucault’s work on governmentality, Elias’s work on the civilising process, and feminist work on patriarchy. It surveys the development of the study of security in criminology and explores its relationship to (neo)liberalism and the dynamics of claims to autonomy and technologies of freedom and to civilising projects. The chapter argues that exploring the history of patriarchy and the politics of protection illuminates both genealogies, and it returns to the themes of culture and agency to suggest that securitisation needs to be understood as a process of identity and agency formation.
