Episode #15: Alex Vitale – The End of Policing
Following the murder of George Floyd, Alex Vitale, a Professor of Sociology in Brooklyn College, New York, and author of the best-selling 2017 book “The End of Policing” became one of the most cited authors in public discourse on defunding or even abolishing the police.
In this episode, recorded after a wave of protests against police brutality took over Greece, Alex Vitale talks about the transformation of the meaning of crime over the last sixty years, the perils of extending the role of police to more and more aspects of our everyday lives, and how we could move away from policing towards relying on our communities.
