An excellent read for anybody interested in prison abolition and restorative justice as they relate to the problem of sexual violence in North America (mostly USA-based). I know that in my experience when talking to non-abolitionists about the criminal justice system, the first question many people ask is “how do we do protect people from [rapists/pedophiles/etc.] if there are no [police/prisons/registries]?” This book actually lays out what we CAN do to prevent sexual violence, facilitate healing for survivors, and respond to sexual harm without the carceral state. This was a transformative read for me as a sex educator, feminist, and abolitionist. It was somewhat difficult due to the content, but worth the time I took to read it in depth.
