Policing and the structure of racialization.

- Abstract
(The Militarization of the Police- Part 3) This series of articles on police militarization was initiated in response to the government (Dept. of Defense) policy of providing military equipment to local police departments. We have evaluated this policy in the context of social violence, under which term we have included both civilian violence against persons and property and police violence against civilians. Police militarization is thus a dimension of the structure of racialization in US society. If the police are focused on race in their comportment toward the people, and the police are the role model for social violence, then their othering of the non-white races is one of its driving forces.
