In Britain, recent years have seen increasing criticism of police ineffectiveness, high-profile incidents of vigilantism and interest in alternatives to traditional policing. In light of these trends, this article first considers nineteenth-century community «self-policing», which ordered social relations according to a more diffuse distribution of acceptable violence.
