This chapter examines historical and contemporary policing of colonised peoples in Australia and South Africa and its manifestations in the COVID-19 period. It underscores the relevance of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in comprehending continuities in racialised policing practices since the beginning of colonial occupation and enforced through segregation laws and policies. Notwithstanding the repeal of these laws and implementation of neutral laws, hyper-policing Indigenous peoples has persisted. CRT highlights the persistence of racialised epistemologies and practices in institutions as a marker of ‘whiteness as property’—the privileged status of white people and a white order, as coined by Cheryl Harris (1993, 1709). While CRT provides important insights into ideological continuities of whiteness, its transformational potential is limited without an understanding of the architecture of racism as a socio-economic structure. The limitations especially pertain to the masses of impoverished people in Black communities. CRT has not conventionally attended to colonial structures that inscribed racism in settler colonies. In addition to considering the role of CRT in contemporary colonies, this chapter invokes racial capitalism as an explanatory framework for colonial law enforcement.
