A World Without Police transcribes these new ideas--written in slogans and chants, over occupied bridges and hastily assembled barricades--into a compelling, must-read manifesto for police abolition. Compellingly argued and lyrically charged, A World Without Police offers concrete strategies for confronting and breaking police power, as a first step toward building community alternatives that make the police obsolete. Surveying the post-protest landscape in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Oakland, as well as the people who have experimented with policing alternatives at a mass scale in Latin America, Maher details the institutions we can count on to deliver security without the disorganizing interventions of cops: neighborhood response networks, community-based restorative justice practices, democratically organized self-defense projects, and well-resourced social services. A World Without Police argues that abolition is not a distant dream or an unreachable horizon but an attainable reality. In communities around the world, we are beginning to glimpse a real, lasting justice in which we keep us safe." --Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Crime prevention. 650 0 $a Community development. 650 0 $a Police $x Attitudes. 941 $a 5 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305042420.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024019.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014802.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526013812.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210923010205.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=87D251A81C3311ECA7A5583349ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
