Vitale)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThe massive uprising following the police killing of George Floyd in the summer of 2020--by some estimates the largest protests in US history--thrust the argument to defund the police to the forefront of international politics. It also made The End of Policing a bestseller and Alex Vitale, its author, a leading figure in the urgent public discussion over police and racial justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the writer Rachel Kushner put it in an article called \"Things I Can't Live Without\", this book explains that \"unfortunately,  no increased diversity on police forces, nor body cameras, nor better  training, has made any seeming difference\" in reducing police killings and abuse. \"We need to restructure our  society and put resources into communities themselves, an argument Alex  Vitale makes very persuasively.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe problem, Vitale demonstrates, is policing itself-the dramatic expansion of the  police role over the last forty years. Drawing on first-hand research from across  the globe, The End of Policing describes how the implementation of alternatives to  policing, like drug legalization, regulation, and harm reduction instead  of the policing of drugs, has led to reductions in crime, spending, and injustice. This edition includes a new introduction that takes stock of the renewed movement to challenge police impunity and shows how we move forward, evaluating protest, policy, and the political situation.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAlex S.
