Rövid leírás:
In Policing Empires, Julian Go offers a postcolonial historical sociology of police militarization in Britain and the United States. He tracks when, why, and how British and US police departments have adopted military tactics, tools, and technologies for domestic use. Using both secondary and primary archival sources, Go reveals that police militarization has occurred since the very founding of modern policing. This book thereby unlocks the dirty secret of police militarization: Police have brought the imperial boomerang home to militarize themselves in response to perceived racialized threats from minority and immigrant populations.

The police response to protests erupting on America's streets in recent years has made the militarization of policing painfully transparent. Yet, properly demilitarizing the police requires a deeper understanding of its historical development, causes, and social logics. Policing Empires offers a postcolonial historical sociology of police militarization in Britain and the United States to aid that effort. Julian Go tracks when, why, and how British and US police departments have adopted military tactics, tools, and technologies for domestic use. Go reveals that police militarization has occurred since the very founding of modern policing in the nineteenth century into the present, and that it is an effect of the "imperial boomerang." Policing Empires thereby unlocks the dirty secret of police militarization: Police have brought imperial practices home to militarize themselves in response to perceived racialized threats from minority and immigrant populations.
“Meticulously researched, deftly argued, and beautifully written-Go unearths the transnational roots and imperial seeds of today's brutal police policies and culture. As we learn, the racist patrol practices, automatic weaponry, and armored vehicles that dominate the streets of Ferguson and London are not a deviation from policing's original ethos, but a perfection of counter-insurgency tactics hatched in colonial Manila and Madras. One of the best books on law enforcement in decades, Go has shifted the way we will think about policing, justice, and resistance for years to come.”
Forrest Stuart, author of Down, Out, and Under Arrest
