Campus police are ubiquitous: 95% of postsecondary institutions operate their own campus police department (Reaves, 2015). The rapid growth of campus policing in the last 50 years has coincided with rising enrollments of students from racially diverse and immigrant communities. Campus policing is generally framed as an instrument of crime control, yet this may overshadow how underrepresented students are surveilled and punished in ways similar to the policing of communities of color in broader society. In three empirical papers, I applied concepts from critical race theory, sociology, and ethnic studies to examine interview data from campus police officers, staff, administrators, faculty, and students. The first study compares all four groups' perceptions of campus policing. The findings illustrate how campus constituents perceived policing was justified through exploiting fear of victimization and constructing racialized meanings of who was a criminal and who was to be protected--what I call policing effects. The findings also described how campus police were embedded into structures of the university that expanded their power and authority to determine how campus constituents related to one another and the institution, what I refer to as "policed relations." In the second study, I examine the effects of campus policing further through the experiences of Black undergraduate men. I found that campus policing operates as a "racial boundary project" through shaping Black student social life to remain safe from police violence. In the third study, I examine how campus police officers respond to allegations of racism, finding that their racial beliefs are the product of a dialectical interaction between social location and structure, shaping how campus police negotiate reform efforts within an unequal social structure. Ultimately, I argue that campus policing functions as a race-making process that employs institutionally sanctioned force and violence to shape structural positions and social identities according to a racial hierarchy.
