About this listen
Recent years have seen an explosion of protest against police brutality and repression. Among activists, journalists, and politicians, the conversation about how to respond and improve policing has focused on accountability, diversity, training, and community relations. Unfortunately, these reforms will not produce results, either alone or in combination. The core of the problem must be addressed: the nature of modern policing itself.
This audiobook attempts to spark public discussion by revealing the tainted origins of modern policing as a tool of social control. It shows how the expansion of police authority is inconsistent with community empowerment, social justice - even public safety. Drawing on groundbreaking research from across the world, and covering virtually every area in the increasingly broad range of police work, Alex Vitale demonstrates how law enforcement has come to exacerbate the very problems it is supposed to solve.
In contrast, there are places where the robust implementation of policing alternatives - such as legalization, restorative justice, and harm reduction - has led to a decrease in crime, spending, and injustice. The best solution to bad policing may be an end to policing.

A must read if you’re interested in justice.
Abolish the police. Like seriously, they’re feral.
I picked this up because of the riots happening in the US and the protests happening world wide in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. I knew there was problems with policing but not exactly just how deep it is, this book lays it all out wonderfully.

Outlines the reasons why policing doesn't work, what alternatives there are and gets you to think about the role we should have police play in our society, if any.
