Both cultural approaches and neo-institution theories provide their own explanations of the way law shapes our society-or vice versa. However, both theories are facing challenges since there is no one-fits-all theory. For example, in the context of Taiwanese policing, it is plausible to say that the policing behavior is only affected by our unique culture, or simply influenced by organizational factors. Both explanations are convincing but do not explain why certain factors outweigh the other. To provide a comprehensive structure to delineate the world of policing, this study aims to draw a “policing field” that is inspired by Bourdieu’s field theory. This paper outlines three approaches—fieldwork, interviews, and media analysis—to provide a general picture of how the general public and media react to policing, by choosing the Taipei 101 building as the field, where the Falun Gong has held its protest for 10 years. Lastly, this paper provides a graph that how all players (including police, political figures, enterprise, security guards, bystanders, protesters, etc.) interact with each other, whose use of language “wins” and how it shapes our everyday life of legal practice, which in turn contributes to the localized theory of Taiwanese law and society. |
