在这一章中，我们重新审视和扩展讨论警察的关系，以“犯罪”和“秩序”的关键政治概念使用的情况下，警察的权力停止和搜查/搜身。我们选择这一权力作为案例研究，因为它的行使充满了我们如何理解警察的首要目的，并寻求控制和管理警察工作的影响。使用证据的社会和空间分布的拦截和搜查，从几个司法管辖区，我们质疑两个合法化的虚构这种权力-它是一种犯罪侦查的工具，它可以受到有效的法律的监管。我们认为，证据表明，拦截和搜查是关于控制和维护秩序的，这样做的努力不仅涉及“打击犯罪”，而且还涉及根据他们是谁来规范和纪律人群，而不是他们的行为方式。有鉴于此，我们认为，拦截和搜查最好理解为马库斯·杜伯（Markus Dubber，2005）最近理论化的警察权力的一个方面-一种潜在的无限的，不可控的，法外的权力，可以做必要的事情来监视和控制边缘人群。最后，我们阐明了理解停止和搜索在这些方面的监管影响。
In this chapter we revisit and extend discussion about the relation of the police to the key political concepts of ‘crime’ and ‘order’ using the case of the police power of stop and search/frisk. We select this power as a case study because its exercise is laden with implications for how we understand the overarching purpose of the police and seek to control and govern police work. Using evidence on the social and spatial distribution of stop and search from several jurisdictions, we contest two legitimating fictions about this power – that it is a tool of crime detection and that it can be subject to effective legal regulation. The evidence, we argue, suggests that stop and search is about control and the assertion of order and the effort to do this implicates not only ‘fighting crime’ but also regulating and disciplining populations based on who they are, not how they behave. Given this, we argue, stop and search is best understood as an aspect of The Police Power recently theorized by Markus Dubber (2005) – a potentially limitless, uncontrollable, extra-legal power to do what is necessary to monitor and control marginal populations. In conclusion, we spell out the regulatory implications of understanding stop and search in these terms.
