This volume offers a much-needed analysis of police abuse and its
implications for our understanding of democracy. Sometimes referred
to as police violence or police repression, police abuse occurs in
all democracies. It is not an exception or a stage of
democratization. It is, this volume argues, a structural and
conceptual dimension of extant democracies. The book draws our
attention to how including the study of policing into our analyses
strengthens our understanding of democracy, including the
persistence of hybrid democracy and the decline of democracy. To
this end, the book examines three key dimensions of democracy:
citizenship, accountability, and socioeconomic (in)equality.
Drawing from political theory, comparative politics, and political
economy, the book explores cases from France, the US, India,
Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Brazil, and Canada, and reveals how
integrating police abuse can contribute to a more robust study of
democracy and government in general.
