| description |
Singapore’s soft authoritarian style of governance provides for interesting analysis of its state-society, interethnic, and intra-ethnic relations, which adds to the literature on policing deviant behavior in liberal democracies. The notion of ‘policing the poor’ emerges, and this seems to be the premise adopted not only by the Singapore state but also by the poor themselves. This concept of ‘policing the poor’ exists in tension with the idea of ‘poor policing’ as the underprivileged too devise strategies to enact structures of social control in their everyday lives. |
