Just Policing, Not War

An Alternative Response To World Violence

BY GERALD SCHLABACH

Brief Description:
Recommended for Gathering Workshop #22. If War Is Not the Answer, Then What Is? (Stephen McNeil.) Gerald Schlabach has proposed just policing theory as a way to narrow the gap between just war and pacifist traditions. If the world can address problems of violence through a police model instead of a conventional military model, there may be a role for Christians from all traditions. He invited scholars representing Catholic, Mennonite, and other traditions to respond to this new idea and address a number of key questions on implementation and responses to threats like terrorism and genocide.
