Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect?: Police Violence and Resistance in the United States by Maya Schenwar

4.0

I think this book is a great introduction for someone (like me) who is new to conversations about police abolition, transformative justice, or community safety. As a collection of essays, this book provides the reader a wide, but related and intersectional, array of perspectives on these topics. I especially appreciated the centering of Black women and WOC, LGBTQIA, and Native perspectives. It’s always tough to know where to start when familiarizing yourself with a movement, but this book offers several points of entry into deeper knowledge and further education beyond this text.
