Dr. Alex Vitale is the author of End of Policing, a Sociology professor at Brooklyn College, and the coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project. He has spent the last 25 years writing about policing and consults both police departments and human rights organizations internationally. In this episode we:

  • unpack the differences between the concepts of police abolition and police reform
  • discuss the social and financial costs of policing
  • examine existing community-based and state-led interventions beyond policing that are found to enhance public safety
  • provide listeners data to support the argument for alternative solutions to preventing harm and violence
