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 disorganising interventions of cops: neighbourhood response networks, community-based restorative justice practices, democratically organised self-defence projects, and well-resourced social services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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. \u003ci\u003eA World Without Police\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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.
