The End of Policing Audiobook (Free)

Recent years have observed an explosion of protest against police brutality and repression. Among activists, journalists, and politicians, the conversation about how exactly to react and improve policing has focused on accountability, variety, teaching, and community relations. Regrettably, these reforms will not produce outcomes, either only or in combination. The core of the problem should be addressed: the type of contemporary policing itself.

This book attempts to spark public discussion by revealing about The End of Policing the tainted origins of modern policing as an instrument of social control. It shows how the growth of law enforcement authority is normally inconsistent with community empowerment, cultural justice-even public protection. Drawing on groundbreaking study from around the world, and covering just about any area in the more and more broad range of law enforcement function, Alex Vitale demonstrates how law enforcement has come to exacerbate the very problems it is supposed to solve.

In contrast, you can find places where the sturdy implementation of policing alternatives-such as legalization, restorative justice, and harm reduction-has led to a reduction in crime, spending, and injustice. The best answer to bad policing may be a finish to policing.
