In Against the Social Harms of Policing author Kevin Walby examines how police abolition is an ethic for diminishing reliance on police by using community development to reduce the conflicts and harms that exist in our neighbourhoods. In the chapter, Walby discusses topics including injustices created by police (including violence, racism, wrongful arrest, and corruption, to name only a few), state power, and the four arguments for police abolition: (i) Social Movement Mobilizations; (ii) Police Budgets and Fiscal Drain; (iii) Disproportionate Police Growth; and (iv) Erosion of Community.
