Pełny opis

This Brief examines the "militarization" of the police force in the United States through the lens of public policy. Although crime rates have lowered since the 1970s, there has been a gradual but dramatic rise in the use of military-grade weapons, equipment, and tactics by police forces across the United States. Through the use of surveys and interviews, the authors have collected the opinions of lawmakers, police executives, and local police forces on the design, funding, and implementation of policies that have advanced the militarization of the police force. This work provides an overview of some of the key policy changes responsible for the increased militarization. It then provides insights into the thinking of current policymakers. The results indicate that while many responsible for this shift are in favor of the technology and tactics, there are differing opinions on key issues, such as oversight, procurement, and the use of surplus military weapons. This work will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, particularly with an interest in police studies, as well as related fields such as public policy, public administration, emergency management, and sociology.
