The role of the police has, from its beginnings, been ambiguous,
even janus-faced. This volume focuses on one of its controversial
aspects by showing how the police have been utilized in the past by
regimes in Europe, the USA and the British Empire to check
political dissent and social unrest. Ideologies such as
anti-Communism emerge as significant influences in both democracies
and dictatorships. And by shedding new light on policing
continuities in twentieth-century Germany and Italy, as well as
Interpol, this volume questions the compatibility of democratic
government and political policing.
