In Policing Protest Paul A. Passavant explores how the policing of
protest in the United States has become increasingly hostile since
the late 1990s, moving away from strategies that protect protesters
toward militaristic practices designed to suppress protests. He
identifies reactions to three interrelated crises that converged to
institutionalize this new mode of policing: the political
mobilization of marginalized social groups in the Civil Rights era
that led to a perceived crisis of democracy, the urban fiscal
crisis of the 1970s, and a crime crisis that was associated with
protests and civil disobedience of the 1960s. As Passavant
demonstrates, these reactions are all haunted by the figure of
black insurrection, which continues to shape policing of protest
and surveillance, notably in response to the Black Lives Matter
movement. Ultimately, Passavant argues, this trend of violent
policing strategies against protesters is evidence of the emergence
of a post-democratic state in the United States.
