Policing Protest and Youth (Vol. 36, No. 1) examines the historical roots of recent forms of domestic spying and the fear campaigns that justify such programs. The longstanding wars on crime, drugs, and terror justify ongoing emergency legislation and a militarized approach to law enforcement. Authors look at how globalization affects policing practices in the United States, including the policing of protest and of inner-city youth, with the associated scandals and abuse. Articles consider activist responses to paramilitary policing of peaceful protest and to anti-gang units.
