摘要

What is commonly understood in America today as widespread law enforcement, or formal policing outside of the cities, appeared in the early twentieth century around the same time that the early film industry first developed. Thus modern law enforcement and film evolved closely in tandem, while also intersecting in meaningful ways. For the purpose of this study, this parallel, yet at times overlapping, history of early law enforcement and film provides an essential context for understanding how representations of law enforcement in early American cinema both influenced and refracted the public's perceptions of law enforcement, thus revealing a shift from views of law enforcement initially as a suspicious force to a power for the common good.;Since the inception of film as a mechanism that transformed live entertainment into a recorded medium, social issues have found their way into cinematic narratives. Many early films notably include representations of both law enforcement and the justice system, and thus the American public's changing perceptions of police officers in the first half of the twentieth century can be analyzed from the early film archive. For this reason, each chapter in this study examines the depictions of law enforcement in several early twentieth-century American films, ranging from 1900 to 1952. The historical periods covered in this study range from the Progressive era through Prohibition, followed by the Depression and the seeming collapse of the American Dream, to the start of the Cold War, and finally, the post-WWII period when the United States was viewed as the newly-crowned superpower of the world. Carefully selected films in these historical periods are analyzed in ways that trace the American public's changing perceptions of American law enforcement.;While much scholarly attention focuses on the criminal in early cinema, as well as on how the film industry's censorship affected the kinds of films Americans viewed, there has been a relative lack of research into representations of law enforcement in film during the early-twentieth-century American cinema. Most notably absent is specific research on the criminal's antagonist---the police officer. Seeking to correct the lack of scholarly attention in this area, the research included in this study represents the first in-depth study of early law enforcement in early-twentieth-century American film, thereby also revealing the evolution of early law enforcement.
