Police violence is spiraling out of control all across the globe. Towards Anti-policing dares to imagine what kind of world might be possible in the absence of policing and clears a radical path for communities to follow beyond the long, dark shadow of the thin blue line.
Offering a diagnostic global perspective on police brutality, Towards Anti-policing: Prefiguring Possibilities beyond the Thin Blue Line raises critical questions about whether policing is needed at all and what underlying purpose it actually serves. In this post-pandemic era, where the grip of authoritarianism has only tightened, Towards Anti-policing positions radical grassroots activism as a first line of critical defiance against the Fear Terror Paradigm of policing logics and the pervasive brutality that this form of community control represents.
