520 "American violence is schizophrenic. On the one hand, many
Americans support the creation of a powerful bureaucracy
of coercion made up of police and military forces in order
to provide public security. At the same time, many of
those citizens also demand the private right to protect
their own families, home, and property. This book
diagnoses this schizophrenia as a product of a distinctive
institutional history, in which private forms of violence
- vigilantes, private detectives, mercenary gunfighters -
emerged in concert with the creation of new public and
state forms of violence such as police departments or the
National Guard. This dual public and private face of
American violence resulted from the upending of a
tradition of republican governance, in which public
security had been indistinguishable from private effort,
by the nineteenth century social transformations of the
Civil War and the Market Revolution"--|cProvided by
