Ted Rutland

In a thought-provoking discussion, Ted Rutland, an Associate Professor at Concordia University, explores the transformation of policing in Canada from the mid-20th century to counterinsurgency urbanism. He critiques community policing, revealing how it often masks systemic violence while reinforcing control over marginalized communities. Rutland also delves into the effects of neoliberalism and white nationalism on urban governance, illustrating the complex dynamics between urban development and policing strategies that maintain societal order amidst unrest.
