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.\u003cbr\u003eTens of millions of people poured onto the streets for Black Lives Matter, bringing with them a wholly new idea of public safety, common security, and the delivery of justice, communicating that vision in the fiery vernacular of riot, rebellion, and protest. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA World without Police\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46631864729758,"sku":"UBD-9781839760068","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781839760068.jpg?v=1774310577","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781839760068","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
