A number of forms of police discretion have been identified. Discretion is the idea that the police have some leeway as to when and how seriously they will enforce the law. Structural discretion is the classic Marxist version where the police directly represent the interests of the bourgeoisie and therefore enforce law and order in their interest and against the interests of the rest. As such they will overlook bourgeois crime as far as they are able and forcefully seek to control the behaviour of the proletariat.
