Defund: Black Lives, Policing, and Safety for All

Sandy Hudson

4.9/5 (20806 ratings)

Description:A fiercely argued, deeply informed examination of why defunding the police is the only way to support a model of security and protection that increases public safety overallTime and again history has watched as police respond to minor calls with escalation, wrongful arrests, and even murder. Reform programs are often poorly implemented and their impacts short-lived. Calls to "defund the police" have rung out across the nation, yet the actual meaning of the phrase remains unclear to many. In Defund longtime activist and founder of Black Lives Matter Canada Sandy Hudson explains what it means to "defund the police," and why it matters, by exploring today's criminal landscape and the patterns and structures that result in safer, well-resourced communities. Hudson explores the origins of commonly held ideas about police and safety to show how police-related social policies are based more on a sensationalized idea of safety than on outcomes and data. Through interviews and sociological research, she demonstrates, for instance, that law enforcement solve only a small number of the crimes, and even the process of assigning cases depends more on optics than large-scale crime reduction. Conversely, safe neighborhoods, rather than featuring an increased police presence, are rich in resources and social programs.After laying out the history and data behind our broken policing system, Hudson paves a clear path forward by exploring how communities can save both money and lives by investing in themselves rather than in policing. She shows how simple changes to educational resources, community centers, and civic engagement can not only make communities safer but also better able to provide for citizens in countless ways. Clear-eyed and hopeful yet pragmatic, Defund is the key to understanding why a future without police is not only possible but necessary.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
