If you aren’t well versed on the history of policing in various communities and the US as a whole, this will give you so much to think about. I love how this book is organized, with each chapter exploring a different topic/role police play and why it is not just ineffective but often downright harmful and damaging. This is definitely written to be persuasive and not unbiased, but despite that I learned so much. Very well organized, researched, and thoughtful.
