Largely a result of policies such as the war on drugs, war on terror, and the 1033 program, there has been a gradual but dramatic rise in the use of military-grade weapons, equipment, and tactics used by police agencies across the United States. This Brief examines the level of support for various aspects of police militarization by lawmakers, police executives, and local police officers, and how their opinions may differ based upon their current position or demographic features using a series of analyses and propensity score matching techniques. This Brief also provides an overview of some of the key policy changes responsible for police militarization, and provides insights into the views held by policymakers and law enforcement on various aspects of the practice. The results indicate that while many responsible for this shift are in favor of paramilitary procurement programs, there are differing opinions on key issues such as oversight and use of military-grade weapons, equipment and paramilitary tactics. This work will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, particularly those with an interest in policing studies, as well as related fields such as public policy, public administration, emergency management, and sociology. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Policing,$x2194-6213 606 $aPolice 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aPolicing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B2000 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912080 615 0$aPolice. 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 14$aPolicing. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 676 $a363.2320973 676 $a363.2320973 700 $aTurner$b Frederick W.$cII$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01426919 702 $aFox$b Bryanna$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910303436503321 996 $aPolice Militarization$93559390 997 $aUNINA
