Abstract

This paper outlines the nature of policing under racial capitalism in the USA and makes a case for the abolition of the police. It reviews the history of the police in the country, focusing particularly on racist ideas and practices against African Americans. It includes analysis of recent cases of police murders of black people and discusses the diverse movements for racial justice, including Black Lives Matter. It relies on an ample base of historical and contemporary evidence and widely utilizes both the academic literature in history, sociology and political science and journalistic sources.
