Policing the crisis, carceral racism, and abolitionist resistance in Europe

About this event
Over the last decades, state violence has intensified across Europe. Police powers have expanded, repressive migration regimes have become increasingly entrenched, and recurring moral panics continue to focus on the perceived “criminality” of migrants and racialised youth. This talk examines how these developments are connected through what can be understood as the contemporary carceral condition. Drawing on critical perspectives on racism, policing and state power, the talk introduces the concept of carceral racism to describe a form of racism shaped by the expansion of carceral institutions.
