Yet, properly demilitarizing the police requires a deeper understanding of its historical development, causes, and social logics. \u003cem\u003ePolicing Empires\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\" \u003cem\u003ePolicing Empires\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJulian Go \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of Sociology and Faculty Affiliate of the Center for the Study of Race, Politics \u0026amp; Culture and the Committee on International Relations at the University of Chicago.
