Why Not Try Reform? A frequent response to abolitionists is to be expected: Why not try reform instead?
First, our system of policing and imprisonment is not broken; the Science Figuring Things Out Is Better Than Making Things Up T-Shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this system’s extreme racial disparities and daily dehumanization do not result from a glitch in the system but rather from the smooth functioning of a system designed to control and contain poor, Black, and brown people. As many scholars have shown, American policing developed out of slave patrols and worker suppression and has continued to serve the interests of private property and capital while enacting extreme violence.
