The End of Policing by Alex S. Vitale

informative medium-paced

5.0

Informative and well researched. An extensive and deep examination of policing, how ingrained it is into society, and how ineffective it is in solving or addressing issues and challenges. While it examines the institution of policing, there is also a focus on addressing the people within the institution and the kinds of engagement police officers are scripted to with the public and community members. The author argued how without addressing the underlying axis of inequality and discrimination, reforms or pilot projects on the police are short-term band-aid solutions.
