Militarization and Policing—Its Relevance to 21st Century Police

Peter B. Kraska*

* Professor and Senior Research Fellow, College of Justice and Strategy, Eastern Kentucky University, USA. E-mail: Peter.Kraska{at}EKU.EDU

This work examines the blurring distinctions between the police and military institutions and between war and law enforcement. In this article, the author asserts that understanding this blur, and the associated organizing concepts militarization and militarism, are essential for accurately analyzing the changing nature of security, and the activity of policing, in the late-modern era of the 21st century.
