Kitten approved, and so good and important it prompted my first blog book review in a long time. Fantastic essays on policing and race and gender and justice and so much more. #readandresist

This book tackles a really important topic, bringing together voices from different activists/scholars/writers. There are lots of good points made concerning the Broken Window approach and the industrial prison complex. Unfortunately many of the informations repeat quite often, which makes it not the best book to read from start to finish. Also - due to the title - I had hoped for a even stronger focus on global connections.
