No More Police: A Case for Abolition

Ritchie, invites readers on a transformative journey to reimagine public safety and justice. Published on August 30, 2022, this groundbreaking book challenges the efficacy of traditional policing methods, which they argue not only fail to prevent violence but actively perpetuate it.

The book serves as both a critical primer and a strategic guide for those interested in criminal justice reform and racial justice, making it an essential read for college students eager to explore profound social change. "No More Police" not only questions our reliance on policing but also envisions a society where safety equates to community well-being, urging readers to consider, "What steps can we take towards a truly safe and equitable world?"
