Against Law, For Order

http://jacobinmag.com/spring-2012/against-law-for-order/

Wilson believed that a "growing and not-so-commendable utilitarianism"
lead many to believe that the police should only intervene in crimes
where there are harms between people. What these people miss, in
Wilson's neoconservative approach, is that disordered individuals,
even if they aren't directly causing harm to people, may sow the seeds
of disorder that can take down an entire community of order.
