​Abstract:

This paper aims to try to understand the social significance of the night-watchmen (bekçiler) as a part of the security forces in Turkey. The social changes based on the example of the night-watchman (bekçi) as a surveillance mechanism between the years 2016-2019 under the rule of AKP (Justice and Development Party) is worthy of sociological inquiry in relation to the everyday routines of the people. To do so, we adopted a literature review as a methodological tool and to bring a kind of historical analysis on the basis of Foucauldian notions.
