The End of Policing by Alex S. Vitale

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

Fantastic introduction into the historical origins and real purposes of policing. The book broke down lots of “reformist” ideas and why they would fail. Failed reforms and overreach of the police is demonstrated through examples. Alternatives to reform are described as well for addressing the root causes of the problems that we often perceive as “crime” that police need to tackle. Definitely an eye opening read for me.
