Police Brutality: A Global Phenomenon

minds of society are victims of police brutality: Rodney King, Michael Brown, Alton Sterling, to name a few. These are some of the specific American police brutality cases that made national and international headlines. Other nations are suffering from a corrupt police force as well. As new videos of police brutality are constantly released and quickly spread throughout all platforms of media, the public’s awareness of police corruption is increasing like never before. Nonetheless, the problem continues to act as a leading issue across the globe, while expressing no signs of improvement.

Cases involving police misconduct are commonly misconceived as having increased dramatically over the years; studies show differently. Official data reported by the F.B.I.’s Uniform Crime Report, which reported the number of killings by a law enforcement officers in the line of duty, showed that in recent years, deaths have hardly increased, if at all. The aspect of police brutality that is increasing, however, is its connection with media. With the widespread of new technology, the world has access to constantly updated news, as well as the ability to share updated news worldwide, at all times. As a crime story is released, the internet blows up in a matter of seconds.

Police brutality is one of several forms of police misconduct; other forms include false arrest, intimidation, racial profiling, political depression, surveillance abuse, sexual abuse, and police corruption. These acts are displayed throughout police forces worldwide. Though the world is encountering much news relating to white on black crime (in reference to unarmed black men being killed by police), police brutality is a global phenomenon with victims of all races. It extends far beyond the United States.
