Chokehold: Policing Black Men

Book • 2017
In 'Chokehold: Policing Black Men', Paul Butler explores the systemic racism embedded in American policing, arguing that the system perpetuates a narrative that criminalizes black men.

He discusses how this narrative is supported by politicians, judges, and societal perceptions, leading to widespread police violence and mass incarceration.

Butler also proposes radical reforms to address these issues, including alternatives to incarceration and abolishing prisons.
