3.5 A good introduction to defunding (and perhaps ultimately abolishing) police, with lots of data and research that backs up each of the 10 topics. It's not a personal or narrative read, but how Vitale simply breaks down each topic (policing in education, sex work, drug trade, borders, mental health, etc) by the history, the hard harmful data, the reforms enacted, why those reforms aren't working, and possible solutions helps to give a full view of why a total system change is needed.
