摘要

This text has analysed the intergenerational experiences of racialised policing of a Black British community, against the backdrop of hostility towards groups racialised as ‘other’. It found that racialised policing functions as a mechanism for the ongoing denial of citizenship, belonging, and identity to Black and racialised communities in contemporary Britain. The historical, social, and cultural foundations of Britishness embody hegemonic whiteness through legacies of imperialism (Gilroy, 2004). Through foregrounding the significance of race in policing experiences, I argued that forms of racialisation and criminalisation, reproducing over time, has affixed generations of Black British communities within the role of pathological deviance in need of social control from the state.
