À propos de cet audio

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.

The narrator choice was odd and a little distracting. Excellent points, and inspires further learning on the subject.

this book takes an American perspective on the issue of police violence and makes step-by-step arguments for divesting from policing. Offered persspectives that I hadn't considered. Very glad I read it.

Interesting analysis of complex topic

Unfortunately, as my title states, this book suffers from poor writing. The thesis and outline are great but the author has not woven in enough empirical research and relies too heavily on anecdote, rhetoric, and editorializing. I think the core of his thesis is likely correct, and someone should write a book more clearly displaying the research behind it.

Good thesis and outline— poorly written.
