| Sumario: | This article draws on a modified Bourdieusian typology to explore capital exchanges between public police and buyers (users) in ‘user pays’ policing. Drawing on interviews and analysis of freedom of information disclosures in Ontario, Canada, we contribute to security network and ‘user pays’ policing literatures by demonstrating thatuser types vary in the volumeof capital exchanged and by city/region and that this linkage can be understood as a two-way exchange of forms of capital rather than unidirectional ‘responsibilization.’ These exchanges primarily involve economic and body capital. We argue that problematization of user pays policing requires political capital to be exchanged. This represents public police’s failure to achieve symbolic capital due to the unskilled labour ‘user pays’ policing is found to entail. We conclude by identifying avenuesfor future network research revealed by our analysis. |
