Description
Across collapsing boundaries between state and private actors, between war and peace, between domestic and international, police power remains the central means by which social and structural violence is administered and maintained. This paper looks at the proliferation of 'policing' as more than police forces, but as a raft of technologies of social control to uphold a certain type of political order. The paper situates policing as a key node in the transnational project of racial capitalism by looking at the blurring of police and military action and the exchange of police tactics, forces, and weaponry in Kashmir, Baltimore, and Palestine/Israel.
