Consequently, the reliance on performa […]Justice Tankebe

Pingback: L’anthropoliteia In the News (12-février-2012) « Anthropoliteia: the anthropology of policing
Hello, My name is Rafael Carbone.
First of all I would like to thank you for putting this particular subject available on internet. I’m a military police officer in Brazil and I have been working with public security in south america for more than 10 years not only in urban conflicts scenarios but also in military crime scenes investigations (known as military judiciary police).
I am also a lawyer and I’m about to finish my Master degree on Administrative Law and, in order to produce my final essay I would like to ask for any sort of material regarding the early days of social order and group coercion in primitive societies. Moreover, I put myself available for any sort of academic and professional request that all of you may have as way to contribuite to the subject developed in this website.
Thanks
Rafael Carbone
