“Activism by Cop”
This article introduces the concept of “ Activism by cop” to describe situations in which protesters deliberately elicit police response to generate symbolic images, media attention, and leverage responses from authorities. We argue that in contemporary protest contexts, protesters do not merely anticipate police repression, but actively stage, elicit, and choreograph intervention as part of a mediatized and interactional performance. Elicited in…

You can't really turn it off”
A variety of concepts in the policing literature denote a so‐called “sixth sense” that police officers claim to possess. “Intuition,” “suspicion,” or “common sense” all specify a tacit knowledge said to heighten an officer's sensitivity to danger and potential suspects. This paper argues this type of knowledge exemplifies the application of “cultural schema” (DiMaggio, 1997): a shared knowledge structure that allows people to respond to environme…
Robocops’ in the Making
This paper examines new meanings that police–citizen interactions take on when officers make sense of them through the lens of body-worn cameras (BWCs). Drawing on 30 interviews with frontline police officers in a large Canadian city, we analyse the embodied character of BWCs to show how officers reframe their role and the subtleties of their approach in dealing with the public as more robotic. First, the participants believe BWCs curb their abil…
Creating 'Windows of Opportunity
This article examines how police officers generate momentum and create opportunities for gaining control in-what they perceive as-potentially violent interactions. Theoretically, the article aims to add to interactionist sociology by illuminating the mechanisms through which participants anticipate and create shared meanings of future possibilities for an encounter. I build upon insights into the function of social interaction for future configur…
The showability of policing
While much scholarly literature on police ‘canteen’ culture focuses on police storytelling, there is little research on the effects of camera phone technologies on police behaviours, particularly in organizational settings. This article introduces the concept of showability to examine how police officers use videos in their everyday police life, and how this relates to police culture. Based on an ethnographic study of the Dutch police, it illustr…
Action accounts of police-civilian interactions
Police work relies fundamentally on non-declarative how-to knowledge, such as embodied skills (Lizardo, 2017). While there is a longstanding tradition of research on forms of police culture, knowledge, and narratives, insights from cultural sociology have only recently been introduced in this tradition. Forms of police culture are predominantly studied through ethnographies and interviews to arrive at the (re)creation of meanings and experiences …
Primordial Brains and Bodies
This article demonstrates how the broader social development to understand behaviour and personhood as shaped by neurobiology forms a predominant narrative among police officers. Drawing on an ethnography of the Dutch police force and 73 interviews with officers, I examine first how they use neurobiological terms to describe and account for their embodied sensations as well as civilian behaviour. Second, I describe the functions these narratives …
FREEZE?’ An analysis of police officers accounts of self-enclosing experiences
When confronted with violent incidents, police officers are expected to act in the situation at hand. This article examines the critical moment of not acting, that is, of ‘freezing’. Policing studies as well criminological and sociological studies of violence have, to date, paid little attention to ‘freezing’ as a vulnerable, unwanted and stigmatised experience. The aim of this article is first to explore what the term ‘freezing’ refers to what k…
Taking social ontology seriously
This interview with Jack Katz offers an inspiring statement about how to study social life. It starts with a discussion of Katz's three-dimensional social ontology; social life is constituted in embodied interactions in which people adjust to others and create transcendent meanings. Contrasting the ontology with anthropology's ontological turn, we note that social ontology is about generating empirically accurate descriptions capturing the flow o…
Sociologizing with R. Collins
This article is a translation of the interview of Randall Collins in May 2016. The key topics of the interview were R. Collins' new concepts: (1) interaction rituals in the digital age; the role of emotions in the interaction of people; (2) attention space - a new concept designed to conceptualize the processes of the struggle of ideas and other conflict situations; (3) a new sociology of violence, in which Collins typifies the types of violence.…
Sociologizing with Randall Collins
In the interview in this article, Randall Collins discusses various aspects of his oeuvre. First, he considers why interaction rituals (IRs) in religion are special emotional transformers. This is followed by a discussion of IRs in the digital age and the symbolic and economic power that is required to orchestrate IRs in politics and revolutions. Then comes a discussion of social scientific research into violence, in the past and more recently. T…
