#2017_TheEndOfPolicing "is about more than race, and more than just the police. Ultimately this book seeks to make a broader argument against social and economic injustice, and against criminalisation and racism, which Vitale locates in the politics of neoliberalism and inequalities of wealth and power. This reach makes this both a book about policing and something extra. It places it in the tradition of radical criminology, which is quite distinct from most criminological work on the police. While the latter has seen much on-going debate about the future(s) of policing and the impact and significance of various reforms over recent and many years, this book appears to cut through such reformist thinking. In this regard, it stands in welcome contrast to normative theorising about or technocratic evaluations of the police" https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2018/07/30/book-review-the-end-of-policing-by-alex-s-vitale/ #IndivScholarAlexVitale (presumably the inclusion of this book is a cynical reference to #SloganDefundThePolice ?) #2020_AntiracistBaby #EDUUSBostonUniversityIbramXKendi #IndivAuthorJasonReynolds
