A really solid introduction to why police don't do the work we think they do, and how their interactions with a number of different ways people are criminalized. Vitale also breaks through point by point of reforms that have been proposed and attempted to show how ineffective any reform that pours more money into the police really is. I don't know that the book was interested in pointing to a future without police altogether, despite the title, but I do think it's a good primer for people to start to understand how police don't solve the issues people think they do.
