Nouvelles histoires de gendarmes et de policiers aux XIXe et XXe siècles Regards sur l’historiographie récente des forces de l’ordre

The abundance of available titles prevented to extend this look at the news in the history of policing to the valuable contributions of foreign historians and other academics in humanities and socialstudies. However, this view shows the fertility of some major projects, dedicated to the international circulation of knowledge, devices and police practices, the emergence of police systems (currently being analyzed as part of the ANR program SYSPOE), to colonial police forces, a particularly dynamic field of research, to the social history of men and women who give body to police forces, to the gendarmes, now taken into account, and to the interrelationships between these odd military, with policing duties, and the civilian police personnel, the study of all of which helps build a real story of policing.
