The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe Audiobook (Free)

Violent crime continues to be rising sharply in many American cities following two decades of decline. Homicides jumped nearly 17 percent in 2015 in the largest fifty cities, the largest one-year increase since 1993. The reason is what Heather Mac Donald first discovered nationally as the ‘Ferguson effect’: Because the 2014 police shooting loss of life of Michael Brownish in Ferguson, Missouri, officers have been backing off of proactive policing, and criminals are becoming emboldened.

This book expands on Mac pc about The War on Cops: The way the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe Donald’s groundbreaking reporting on the Ferguson effect. It deconstructs the central narrative of the Black Lives Matter movement: that racist cops are the greatest threat to young black males.

The Battle on Cops exposes the reality about officer usage of force and explodes the conceit of ‘mass incarceration.’ A thorough analysis of data shows that crime, not competition, drives police actions and prison prices. The development of proactive policing in the 1990s, along with lengthened sentences for violent criminal offense, saved thousands of minority lives. Actually, Mac pc Donald argues, no government agency is more focused on the proposition that ‘dark lives matter’ than today’s data-driven, responsible police department.
