"This volume breaks important new ground in our understanding of the global dimensions of policing. These interventions move beyond both decontextualized local case studies and comparative studies that fail to consider the ways that global power arrangements fundamentally shape local policing. In the process, they have set a new bar for best practices in policing research."-- Alex S. Vitale, author of , The End of Policing " Imperial Entanglements of Policing offers desperately needed new ways of thinking about and studying policing. Through its magnificent framework of imperial entanglements and insistence that policing today is imperial in ancestry and therefore materiality, the collection denatures the police as analytic object, making visible the matrix in which police act and showing how racial capitalism is the imperial system policing commits itself to defend."-- Micol Seigel, author of , Violence Work.
