This thesis investigates the encounter between university students and police officers during arrest, in the police car, in custody, and in prison. By focusing on the spatial encounters between the police and the university students this thesis aims to understand the interrelation between political violence, and student subjectivities. The study concentrates on the narratives of the students not only regarding spatial and performative encounters with the police, but also regarding students’ own social and moral worlds. In addition to analyzing these encounters in relation to students’ class, ethnic and gender positions, it also focuses on the aftermath of these encounters by looking at family relations and the emotional effects of the aftermath of the violence
