Analysis

on BBC Radio 4 FM

6/9. The Appliance of Violence. The modern state has traditionally been defined by its monopoly of violence.

And why is Government moving into new areas of control, such as smacking of children? Andrew Brown asks where the balance of legitimate force lies and how it's shifting.
