Overall I liked what I read but I still have that one burning question left, I didn't get an answer that satisfied me unfortunately.
Overall I'm giving this 4 stars out of 5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I listened to this for free on the library app libbyapp.com

displacedcactus's review against another edition
Anyway, this book is probably great if you're doing a deep dive on the police/prison abolition movement, but this was my first book on the subject and it was a lot. Lots and lots of very academic language and references to specific movements, and not a lot of information on the how and why of abolition. Definitely don't start here. Learn from my mistake!

I read this book because since 2021 I've been kind of using a lens of war rape culture to frame racial capitalist patriarchy. Whether I'm doing that well is another matter I don't know how to test yet. -- Point being, in contrast to that I have "consent culture", and as I've been getting educated the past couple of years it's become apparent that I want to work with an abolitionist framework. So this book was awesome, and it read so much quicker than I thought it would. I love the data tables at the back that have the 4 questions along with the various strategies because I remember wanting more specifics about the (prison) abolitionist activism profiled in the anthology "captive genders".
