“…A more comprehensive approach may be derived from the fact that ETs may also be described in terms of symptoms of structural inadequacy of social systems, when confronted with psychic systems' perceptions and reactions. Social systems must manage ETs to guarantee their continuance, which requires compensating for this inadequacy by resorting to a variety of immune mechanisms that are not exclusively reducible to negative sanctions and repressive interventions (an approach shared also by Kron 2016). In what follows, we primarily examine IPs aimed to protect social autopoiesis exposed to ETs by focusing on anticipative, integrative, and regulative communicative mechanisms, such as conflicting communications, social movements, and legal procedures.…”

This paper analyzes violence from the peculiar perspective of a “social immunology”, defined as the area of social systems theory concerned primarily, even though not exclusively, with those processes by which social systems as communication systems deal with tensions, termed ecological tensions, that involve the intersection between social systems and their human environment and that endanger the maintenance of social autopoiesis. Individuals’ violent behaviors are manifestations of such tensions. However empirically ubiquitous it may be, violence constitutes a crucial problem for social systems, due to risks detrimental to the human substrate of communicative processes. We theorize about conflicts, social movements and the legal system as the main components of an immune apparatus of social systems by focusing on individuals’ reactions to social costs and related social conflicts. Modern law, in particular, tends to promote individuals’ inclusion and to restrain their resorting to violence by relying on a system of rights, procedures, and judicial institutions conducive to attracting and regulating such conflicts. Legal immunization remains nonetheless exposed to several limitations, including abnormal forms that concur to the arbitrary use of violence.

Zusammenfassung Ausgehend von der Funktionsbestimmung der Polizei als Organisation zur Kontrolle von Gewalt identifiziert der Beitrag mit Hilfe der Luhmannschen Systemtheorie die besondere Herausforderung bei der Behandlung von Gewalt im System der Polizei: Weil die Polizei auf der Ebene basaler Selbstreferenz mit einem strukturell eingebauten Gewaltpotenzial ausgestattet ist, bedarf polizeiliche Gewaltanwendung in sehr grundsätzlicher Weise der eigenen Reflexion und Kontrolle. Während Reflexion illegitime Gewalt gegen die Polizei als allgegenwärtige Gefahr und polizeiliche Gewalt als legitim voraussetzt, sichern reflexive Mechanismen auf einer weiteren Ebene der Systembildung genau das ab – und zwar auch in jenen Fällen, in denen polizeiliche Gewalt den legitimen Rahmen verlassen hat und zur brauchbaren Illegalität geworden ist. Reflexion und Reflexivität im System der Polizei wirken somit gewaltverstärkend. In Anbetracht dieser Lage stellen Kontingenzbeobachtungen vor allem der Wissenschaft das Potential bereit, bestehende Selbstbeschreibungen und Kontrollmechanismen der Polizei sowie auch das Polizieren selbst als auch ‚anders möglich‘ zu begreifen.
