No More Police: A Case for Abolition

A primer on police abolition by veteran organizers Mariame Kaba and attorney Andrea J. Ritchie. The book argues that policing does not stop violence and instead perpetuates widespread harm. It examines the failures of contemporary police reforms and explores demands to defund police, divest from policing, and invest in community resources to create greater safety through a Black feminist lens. Centering survivors of state, interpersonal, and community-based violence, the book highlights uprisings, campaigns, and community-based projects. Part handbook and part road map, No More Police makes a case for a world where tools to prevent, interrupt, and transform violence in all its forms are abundant. It calls for moving away from systems that perpetrate violence in the name of ending it toward communities that are safe, well-resourced, and thriving.
