Sumario:The writers identify a global phenomenon in law enforcement that they characterize as a “paramilitary policing juggernaut.” After defining the key terms of police “militarism,” “militarization,” and “paramilitary policing,” and explaining the principal drivers of the paramilitary policing juggernaut, the writers analyze its causes and effects on democratic policing in the U.S. and abroad. This juggernaut threatens to undermine the provision of democratic policing across the international community, and is irreversible if left unchecked, as experienced by the Israeli National Police. The writers conclude by suggesting several tools and strategies to control the paramilitary policing juggernaut.
