Recent scholarship prompts scholars to think of policing in novel ways. Yet, less attention is given to policing as a physical and ontological act. In this article, I examine three examples of how Black individuals and groups are policed-within and beyond the criminal legal system-to show that policing is a physical and ontological act that serves to cohere one of the most important onto-epistemological claims of modernity: the human. Through the…
Punitive Inertia
Theories of the U.S. carceral state often treat anti-Blackness as the disproportionate suffering of Black individuals across a range of measures instead of a distinct form of racial oppression that needs investigation. This article examines how anti-Blackness shapes the formal and informal ways that Black individuals are policed in their everyday lives. Drawing on 23 interviews with adults who identify as Black across the United States, I find th…
Fractured Militancy
Carceral Liberalism
Due to hyper-imprisonment and its collateral consequences, the United States has become a carceral state where even non-criminal justice institutions have adopted punitive techniques to address social problems.

Drawing on nearly three years of ethnographic fieldwork with a homeless service p…

Involuntary Servitude
Envisioning a feminist urban ethnography

More recently, this hegemonic risk discourse has become contoured by the so‐called new cultural turn in urban poverty studies, which has been marked as a departure from the earlier “blame the victim” perspectives. In …
