Evidence

Whether looking at histories of slavery (Camp, 2004), vagrancy (Anderson, 2013, pp. 12–28), or policing (Neocleous, 2000), it is clear that desires to control the mobilities of poor and degraded humanity have been central to the development of state repression. — Luke de Noronha, The conviviality of the overpoliced,…, 33
