Police Power and Race Riots: A Historical and Comparative Examination is a comprehensive and authoritative work that examines the complex and often volatile relationship between police power and race riots. Bringing together a team of leading scholars, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of police power and race riots in the United States, as well as comparative perspectives from other countries.

The book begins with a historical overview of police power and race riots in the United States. The authors trace the roots of police power to the slave patrols of the antebellum South, and they show how the police have been used to suppress and control black communities throughout American history. The book also examines the role of race riots in American history, from the New York City Draft Riots of 1863 to the Los Angeles Watts Riots of 1965.

The book then turns to a comparative analysis of police power and race riots in other countries. The authors examine the experiences of Great Britain, France, Germany, and Canada, and they show how the different ways in which these countries have policed their black populations have led to different patterns of race riots.

The book concludes with a discussion of the implications of the research for understanding and preventing race riots. The authors argue that race riots are a symptom of the deep-seated racism that exists in many societies, and they call for a fundamental transformation of the way that police power is used.

Police Power and Race Riots: A Historical and Comparative Examination is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the causes and consequences of race riots, and for developing effective strategies to prevent and respond to these events.
