Policing sexuality: Sex, society, and the state
Policing Sexuality: Sex, Society, and the State examines how governments, legal institutions, and social norms regulate and control sexual behavior across different cultural and political contexts. The book analyzes the ways states construct “acceptable” and “deviant” sexualities through laws, policing practices, public policies, and moral discourses, revealing how these mechanisms reinforce power, hierarchy, and social order. By drawing on historical cases, contemporary examples, and comparative perspectives, it uncovers how sexuality becomes a site of political intervention—shaping citizenship, gender relations, and bodily autonomy. This work highlights the tensions between individual freedoms and state authority, demonstrating how the governance of sexuality often reflects broader struggles over rights, identity, and social justice.
