Book
The end of policing / Alex S. Vitale.
This book attempts to spark public discussion by revealing the tainted origins of modern policing as a tool of social control. It shows how the expansion of police authority is inconsistent with community empowerment, social justice - even public safety. Drawing on groundbreaking research from across the world, and covering virtually every area in the increasingly broad range of police work, the author demonstrates how law enforcement has come to exacerbate the very problems it is supposed to solve.
