À propos de cet audio

What would happen if policing disappeared? Would we be safe? This book imagines a world without police.

It’s evident that policing is a problem. But what is the way best forward? In Beyond Policing, distinguished scholar and writer Philip V. McHarris reimagines the world without police to find answers and reveal how we can make police departments obsolete.

Beyond Policing tackles thorny issues with evidence, including data and personal stories, to uncover the weight of policing on people and communities and the patterns that prove police reform only leads to more policing.

McHarris challenges us to envision a future where safety is not synonymous with policing but is built on the foundation of community support and preventive measures. He explores innovative community-based safety models (like community mediators and violence interrupters), the decriminalization of driving offenses, and the creation of nonpolice crisis response teams. McHarris also outlines strategies for responding to conflict and harm in ways that transform the conditions that give rise to the issues. He asks us to imagine a world where people thrive without the shadow of inequality, where our approach to safety is a collective achievement.

McHarris writes, “What if our response to crisis wasn’t about control but about care? How can we create conditions where safety is a shared responsibility? How can we design justice so that no community is routinely oppressed? Envisioning such a world isn’t just a daydream; it’s the first step toward building a society where violence and fear no longer dictate our lives.”

Transformative and forward thinking, Beyond Policing provides a blueprint for a brighter, safer world. McHarris’s vision is clear: we must dare to move beyond policing and foster a society where everyone has the resources to thrive and feel safe.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“In this visionary yet sober account, Philip V. McHarris marshals empirical data and personal stories to show that the police function not to keep all of us safe but to maintain racial and class order. A half-century of reform has done nothing to reduce police brutality, terror, wrongful deaths, or crime. Beyond Policing offers a new vision of public safety, one that recognizes social and economic security as safety issues. Even skeptics will agree: abolition may be the only viable path to a humane civil society.”—Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams
“If you’re looking for practical pathways to safe communities, it starts with this thought-provoking and insightful book.”—Alicia Garza, co-creator of #BlackLivesMatter and author of The Purpose of Power
Philip V. McHarris is a wellspring of intellectual nutrition, and one of the few people I can trust in my life to make me smarter on very tough issues. In Beyond Policing, Philip masterfully challenges the status quo of the American policing system. He presents a powerful argument for long needed social change, grounded in historical context and a vision for a future centered on community and care rather than coercion. McHarris's book is an indispensable guide for understanding the deep-seated issues in our current system and the steps we can take towards a more just and safe society. Beyond Policing is a necessary tool for anyone serious about understanding both the issue at hand, and the prescription for change.—Van Lathan Jr., author of Fat, Crazy, and Tired
Beyond Policing is an invitation to imagine a world without policing. Philip V. McHarris is an incredible scholar that has rooted his vision for a safe future for all through impeccable research coupled with personal testimony. This book is as inspiring and groundbreaking as it is informative.—Tamika Mallory, author of State of Emergency
With deft research and moving storytelling, Philip V. McHarris invites readers to consider why it is that we have relied on mechanisms of law enforcement to solve problems and ensure safety in our communities as opposed to non-carceral solutions for wellbeing that are grounded in practices of care and repair. In this important work, McHarris offers the American public some answers. In fact, it is a way forward, a map, that charts how we might, at last, move beyond policing. And I have a sense that we will be turning to McHarris’ words over and over again.—Darnell L. Moore, author of No Ashes in the Fire
“A sweeping overview of the movement to create a police free future and a vision of how to get there.”—Alex S. Vitale, author of The End of Policing
