Abolition or Reform? | Abolish the Police, with Dr Koshka Duff | Attic Philosophy

What are the alternatives to policing? Should we abolish the police, or continue with reform? This is part 2 of my interview with Dr Koshka Duff on police violence and Abolitionism. She discusses various alternatives to policing, the programme of 'Abolitionist Steps', and why police reform isn't enough.
