Resumo:This article brings together the results of a preliminary comparative analysis of the policing of Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and Franco’s Spain. Based on an examination of the role of the police in the ascendancy of the Fascist, Nazi and Falangist political movements, the structures of the police systems subsequently created, the type of police personnel operating under these regimes, and the extent of terror they employed, the article illustrates the contrasting features of the police systems concerned but looks to identify similar patterns of development that would allow the formulation of a model for the creation of systems of repression under right-wing dictatorships.
