“… 8 This understanding of modern French policing is a relatively recent one. Blanchard, Deluermoz, and Glasman (2011) note that, within French police historiography, there is an accepted narrative that claims that police modernization was the result of a professionalization of police forces that sought to minimize the use of violence. According to them, however, any such norm to avoid violence and lethality was “compartmentalized … .it did not touch certain populations that were victims of negative stereotypes and of a mode of domination that was founded in part on the hypothesis of racial inequality” (Blanchard, Deluermoz, and Glasman 2011, 47). …”

“…De fait, s'il faut comprendre le maintien de l'ordre comme la revendication par l'État du monopole de la violence physique sur un territoire donné, en situation coloniale, cette revendication consiste seulement à orienter la coercition, d'où qu'elle vienne, dans un sens qui ne remette pas en cause le gouvernement colonial 23 . Les études portant sur le fonctionnement des forces de l'ordre durant la période coloniale décrivent autant l'ampleur et les limites des processus de bureaucratisation, de centralisation ou de pacification des services de police 24 à l'oeuvre dans les colonies que la nécessité pour l'autorité gouvernante de déléguer ses fonctions de police, de justice et de prison à de multiples autorités locales -entreprises coloniales, colons, indigènes. Ainsi, Martin Thomas, spécialiste des polices coloniales, a pu affirmer récemment que plus le champ de la recherche s'approfondit, plus la frontière entre forces régulières, compagnies de sécurité privées, polices indigènes et groupes de vigilantes (qu'ils soient européens ou indigènes) devient difficile à tracer 25 .…”

“…She is optimistic, but cautiously so, noting that wider structural conditions can limit the scope for some changes in police culture and practice to occur and be sustained (Marks, 2005). This accords a view of colonial policing reforms which suggests training and specialisation do not necessarily contain the use of unlawful violence because police are exposed to wider social conditions which shape their actions (Blanchard, Deluermoz, & Glasman, 2011). This research was inspired by scholarship on policing (largely from the UK, US, Canada and Australia) that provided frameworks for exploring diversity in policing.…”
