Тезаурус:

1. As a result, the uniform "polises" often complain that "the quality of prig has been forsaken to be replaced by quantity".
2. Inflation of the theatricality of the social drama leads detectives to lay emphasis on "the big job" and the arrest of the professional "prig" who commits the big burglary or pulls off a daring robbery.
3. It becomes a rite of separation into an area where the detective's need to "juggle with statistics and detection rates" is diametrically opposed to the constantly voiced uniform preference for action which is simply programmed to "nail the prig down".
4. This is another skewed reality, of course, for in their pursuit of the "prig" they are merely following a version of justice which depends on blind acquiescence to establishment values of honesty.
5. Always the disorderly acts of the "prig" must be stopped, curtailed, arrested, disciplined, and contained; and in pursuit of a "docile body" the law inevitably seeks to negate, constrain, prevent, and deny movement.
6. By reducing the social space between the dichotomies of ordered law enforcers and uncontrolled "prigs", the detective necessarily returns a degree of humanity to the "prig" which the uniform "collar feeler" is always structured to deny.
7. Isabella can very easily come across as a prig.
8. His "real work" always lies in the bodily activity of physically capturing the "prig", often to have this dangerous business transformed by a detective who then negotiates justice with the adversary, in the essential CID cause of returning a good detection rate.
9. The detective on the other hand, immediately sets out to reduce these culturally created separations, for he needs to negotiate a statistical reality with the "dirty prig opposition".
10. The immediacy of this world of conflict demands that regardless of his proximity to the metaphorical dirt he is controlling, he needs to erect and maintain social and psychological barriers and separate himself conceptually from the "prig".
11. One further consequence of attributing pre-eminence to quantity in relation to detection rates means that the "prig" who "clears his slate" (admits to lots of crimes, no matter how trivial) becomes a prized catch, simply because he helps the figures.
12. Because the "prig" has to be nailed, it comes as no surprise to find that electronic tagging seems set to join the introduction of ID cards as a means of controlling the "dangerous classes", for as many anthropologists have shown, the concept of movement itself is possessed of dangerous ambiguity and prevents easy classification.
13. I will expand further on this dichotomy between quality and quantity of "crime" in Chapter 5, but would argue that the chase for numerical detections in which detectives everywhere are immersed moves them across another conceptual boundary and takes them into a statistical world away from their previous world as "real polises" where the central classifier of conflict with the "prig" remains, as ever, in a power struggle over the body (Foucault 1977).
