Summary

Police violence against minorities, or clashes between minorities and police, seem to tell the same story – everywhere. It could be young black men beaten by police officers in American cities, second-generation North African migrants fleeing police officers in a Parisian poor suburb, Israelis of Ethiopian descent humiliated by police officers, or a Bedouin man shot to death during house demolitions. Indeed, they are all identifiable minorities, stigmatized by surrounding society and more vulnerable than others. Historically, policing emerged to contain social changes that could no longer be managed by existing private, communal or informal mechanisms (Bayley, 1998). The “order” police enforce, everywhere, is a particular order that delineates and reinforces boundaries and hierarchies of a particular citizenship regime. The study of the enforcement of this order in policies and everyday operations of police forces, and in the perceptions and expectations of different groups, often unmasks the illusion of universal citizenship.
