Abstract

Julian Go's article in Diplomatic History explores the history of policing in Britain and the United States from 1829 to the present, focusing on the militarization of police forces. Go argues that the militarization of police was influenced by the imperial boomerang effect, where colonial practices were brought back to the imperial metropole. The article highlights the interconnectedness of colonial and Nazi crimes, drawing on the work of anti-colonial thinkers like Aimé Cesaire, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Hannah Arendt. The author provides a detailed analysis of the waves of police militarization in both countries, emphasizing the role of racialized threats in shaping policing strategies.
