- Title
Media and the police state: defining the contemporary police state.
- Abstract
This article examines the portrayal of police in various forms of media, such as cop shows and films, as well as the impact of these representations on society. It argues that these depictions often reinforce stereotypes and contribute to the normalization of police brutality. The article also explores the historical connection between policing and the protection of capital, as well as the influence of neoliberalism on both the police and media institutions. It concludes by presenting a collection of essays that offer different perspectives on policing and aim to promote reform and change. These articles cover a wide range of topics, including the racialization of the carceral system in the United States and the representation of police in Japanese anime and Tamil cinema. Overall, these articles provide valuable insights into the complex nature of policing and its effects on individuals and communities.
