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

3.0

(My rating is 3.375 of 5, averaged from ratings of the sixteen individual essays).

I’m new to the concepts of defunding and/or abolishing policing, and this book was a decent introduction to the thinking behind such strategies, as well as potential practical methods for eventually accomplishing safer communities (by removing the harm/violence of policing)

Some essays were more worth my time than others; my favorite amongst them — the only one I awarded five stars — was “Say Her Name: What It Means To Center Black Women’s Experiences Of Police Violence”, by Andrea J. Ritchie.

(I have published a longer review on my website, including mini-reviews of individual essays.)
