“…In invoking repair as carceral, I join those who underscore how, taking inspiration from Foucault (1975), the carceral state operates not only through prisons and law enforcement but through a wide range of institutions including mental health programmes, social welfare projects, and credit and debt programmes (Hinton 2016;O'Neill and Dua 2017;Wang 2018). Carceral repair invites us to see how carceral logics can operate through energy projects, and how they can be mobilized in the name of repair.…”

This article, based on ethnographic fieldwork in 2016–2019, examines methane extraction operations in Lake Kivu on the Rwanda/DRC border as a lens into understanding how energy futures in Africa are imagined and enacted within national projects of post-war reconstruction. In 2005, scientists suggested that the lake’s dissolved methane risked oversaturation within the century. This spurred state-backed projects to simultaneously prevent a natural disaster and harness the methane to meet Rwanda’s rising electrification needs. Two companies are currently building and operating methane-fuelled power plants. The article suggests that these energy projects, an integral part of the overall architecture of social repair in Rwanda, reproduce and generate forms of captivity and entrapment that are central to understanding the lived politics of ‘carceral repair’, a generation after genocide.

“…Furthermore, different aspects of police militarization have always existed in the American police to some extent. For example, the channeling of federal funds to provide military gear and training to local police has existed in some form since the 1960s (Hinton, 2016;Jackson & Carroll, 1981), though it was revamped with the war on drugs (Kraska & Kappeler, 1997) and the war on terror (Kraska, 2007).…”

“…ENDNOTES 1 While space prevents a discussion of the LEAA here, we recommend interested readers to see Hinton's (2016) work for more information on the LEAA's activities. 2 The Harris et al (2017) data for officer complaints came from a much smaller subsample of only large LEAs.…”

In 2014, police responses to protests and riots in Ferguson, Missouri, prompted an unprecedented level of news coverage on the phenomenon of police militarization. Though the increased attention to police militarization and governmental programs thought to facilitate it (e.g., the 1033 Program) may give the impression that police militarization is a recent phenomena, social scientists have been documenting trends in police militarization for decades. This article provides an overview of the social science research literature on police militarization, starting with a discussion of a theory informed conceptualization of police militarization. We next discuss the major normative debates that have guided research on police militarization. We then review the empirical literature that focuses on the methodological approaches and findings of extant work on police militarization. Finally, we close with an overview of the state of the literature and suggestions for future research. Our major suggestion for future work is to consider the dimensions of police work that police militarization can occur in while continuing to engage with the normative debates of previous scholars so as to improve the overall quality of police work and public safety in the United States.

“…Mummolo 2is also contributing to expansive work in the social sciences and history that theorizes policing as part of state projects of social control and race-class subjugation (18)(19)(20). Indeed, the nation's inaugural SWAT team first deployed in Los Angeles in 1969 to surveil and undermine black political resistance, sending 300 officers (and tear gas, battering rams, and army tanks) into Black Panther Party headquarters (20).…”
